Producing Stucco Mouldings and Architectural Ornaments from EPS


EPS stucco mouldings are the largest single segment in the hot wire cutting machine industry. Those who produce correctly have a real competitive advantage.

Why EPS Is the Ideal Material for Stucco Mouldings


EPS stucco mouldings have replaced traditional plaster stucco in most applications. They are lighter, less expensive, more moisture-resistant and equally easy to coat. CNC hot wire cutting enables precise and economical production of profiles and ornaments - in series or as individual pieces. cnc-multitool has the right machine portfolio for complete stucco moulding production.

The Complete Production Chain


A complete stucco moulding production line involves several steps. The CUT3000S cuts linear profiles, cornices and complex 3D ornaments. The ArchCutter AC1500S produces arches and curved elements up to 100 cm wire length. The BaseCutter BC500S makes round bodies such as capitals, medallions and spheres up to 100 cm in diameter. The EPS coating machine TC4800CB coats finished profiles fully automatically. Each machine handles what it does best.

The Machines for Stucco Moulding Production


  • CUT3000S - linear profiles, cornices, complex 3D ornaments, pilasters
  • ArchCutter AC1500S - arches, curved elements, arched friezes
  • BaseCutter BC500S - capitals, medallions, spheres, round bodies up to 100 cm
  • EPS coating machine TC4800CB - fully automatic surface coating
  • SHD2000S wire recycler - recycle cutting waste into granulate

Architectural Ornaments - from Simple to Complex


The range of EPS architectural elements is diverse: pilasters and lesenes for facade articulation, cornices and crown cornices for the building termination, rosettes and friezes for ceilings and walls, capitals for columns, corbels and cantilever stones for balconies and bay windows. All of these elements can be produced economically and precisely with the right combination of machines.

Series Production or Individual Production?

The CUT3000S is ideal for individual production and small series - maximum flexibility with changing profiles. Anyone producing the same profile in large quantities can move up to the CUT4000S with up to 10 wires - productivity rises considerably. Many successful stucco moulding businesses have both: the CUT3000S for special profiles and new customers, the CUT4000S for standard products in series.

Frequently Asked Questions


The key questions and answers on this topic.

Show questions

Which machines do I need for stucco moulding production?

To get started, the CUT3000S is enough - it cuts profiles, cornices and 3D ornaments. For arches the ArchCutter, for round bodies the BaseCutter. The TC4800CB coating machine automates surface coating.

Can I produce stucco mouldings in series production?

Yes. The CUT4000S with up to 10 wires is ideal for series production with consistently identical profiles. The CUT3000S is more flexible for changing profiles and custom work.

How are EPS stucco mouldings coated?

With the EPS coating machine TC4800CB - it coats profiles and panels fully automatically. Alternatively, manual coating with filler or adhesive for smaller quantities.
