One thing that I've learned from @bce 's Retina Mapper headset prototype is that we will need methods to easily and automatically prototype exact shapes of foam padding for where the headset touches the user's face and head. I've looked into options, and I'm going to start experimenting with using our Sainsmart Genmitsu 4040 CNC router, which we've previously used for aluminum, to cut foam pieces. We're going to start experimenting with a vacuum clamp to hold the soft foam while it is machined.

I'm thinking this also may be a good method of machining box inserts for storing and shipping the headset product.
