I was at a party with an ice sculpture last night. Just a block of ice, but it had a logo cut into it. I thought why couldn't the bot do this? Anyone ever tried?

When I was looking to purchase my bot, there was a company in Southfield MI which is real close to me that had a shopbot in a walk-in freezer doing nothing but Ice Carvings.

I'm thinking I should give it a try. Come winter, I have a walkout freezer.

Some things sound like they are just meant to be.

Ice Culture was supposedly the first to use CnC to machine.

Here is a youtube video of ice carving. A shopbot could do the same thing.
