History

Established in 1991.

In 1987 Tony Natal designed and built a unique foam cutting tool to make foam gliders for his young grandson. Rather than sawing through Styrofoam, he developed a tool that melted a thin, clean slice through the foam, eliminating the use of serrated blades that made a mess with tiny foam particles that stuck to everything.

In 1988 Tony designed a foam cutting tool for his son David Natal to make lightweight scenery for clay animation sets. In 1991 David asked Tony to create a set of foam cutting tools for miniature terrain making that he could manufacture and market. The new company was given the name Hot Wire Foam Factory and we have been providing top notch tools and customer service ever since!
