Hey, total noob question about fiberglassing and foam. I was thinking of a more "automated" way to fabricate parts. I read a post somewhere that said the foam core is just used to "form" the part, not really an element of strength. That said, could one take the BID and UNI fabric, do a layup without the foam core and then have a 3d router cut out multiple pieces out of a really big, say 4'x8' layup?
