WeCutFoam Fabricating Exhibits and Decor for Museum of Ice Cream, San Francisco

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 29, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- WeCutFoam, custom exhibits and Decor Company in Sunnyvale, CA has collaborated with the newly opened Museum of Ice Cream to create themed playground exhibit structures for their "Candy Land" Room.

The room exhibit, created in the spirit of Candy Land children game, comprised of foam structures covered with turf and large fiberglass candies. WeCutFoam was given a sketch file by the museum designers, which from that they have created a CAD file, to be able to cut and machine the foam pieces.

Over a hundred different foam structures sections were created using five different CNC router machines, for a total of about 300 machining hours. The foam sections were hand sanded then sprayed with Polyurea coating. The coating used was hard, yet elastic so that the visitors will be able to step on the structure, thus creating an interactive exhibit room.

WeCutFoam staff delivered the foam sections and assembled them at the museum room itself, so that all pieces will fit to create the final desired shapes. The museum fabricators then placed turf fake pink grass on the structures, and then placed fiberglass figures and toys on the turf. The end result is a Candy Land themed room, where visitors can walk on, play and take pictures aside the props.

WeCutFoam owner mentioned that it was a great challenge but he was thrilled to be a part of something so innovative. "We were given a short amount of time to fabricate, but we've pulled through as the museum had to open mid September". He continued to say that this was a fun project to make, as there was lots of creativity involved and "who doesn't love Candy Land and childhood games, especially when they are life size"...

The room decoration that WeCutFoam fabricated is one of many interactive rooms at the Museum. Others include ice cream tasting, letters magnet room, unicorn rainbow room, sprinkles "diving" pool and many more. In this place you can see, feel, touch, smell and taste the flavors. The museum designers and establishers meant to create a place where ideas and dreams are transformed into real life experiences to facilitate imagination and bring people together.
