Precision Foam Cutting with CNC Technology
We specialise in high-precision CNC cutting and routing for foam, offering customised solutions for various industries. Our state-of-the-art CNC machines ensure accurate cuts, smooth edges, and minimal material waste, making them ideal for packaging, signage, prototyping, and more.
CNC Cutting for Foam
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting is a highly efficient method for shaping foam with exceptional precision. Our advanced technology allows us to create complex designs, intricate details, and perfectly cut foam pieces with consistency and speed.
Types of CNC Cutting for Foam
We utilise different CNC cutting techniques depending on the type of foam and the required finish:
-
CNC Hot Wire Cutting – Ideal for materials like EPS (expanded polystyrene) and XPS (extruded polystyrene), this method uses a heated wire to melt through the foam, delivering clean, precise cuts with minimal waste.
-
CNC Blade Cutting – A rotary or oscillating blade efficiently cuts soft foams or dense foam sheets, ensuring straight, smooth edges without distortion.
-
Laser Cutting – For thin foam sheets or intricate patterns, laser cutting provides unmatched precision, making it perfect for EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam and other specialised applications.
CNC Foam Routing for Complex Shapes
When deeper cuts or 3D foam shaping are required, CNC routing offers the ability to create detailed contours, engravings, and sculpted designs.
CNC Routing Applications:
-
Carving & Sculpting – Create custom models, decorative elements, and intricate display pieces with high-detail precision.
-
Engraving & Detailing – CNC routing allows for logos, patterns, or text to be engraved into foam surfaces, offering a professional, polished finish.
Applications of CNC Foam Cutting & Routing
Our CNC foam cutting and routing services cater to a wide range of sectors, ensuring precision, durability, and customisation for various industries we serve:
-
Custom Signage & Displays – Foam is a lightweight yet durable material, perfect for retail displays, trade show signage, and brand logos.
-
Protective Packaging – We create custom foam inserts to ensure safe transportation and secure product storage.
-
Prototyping & Model Making – Foam is ideal for architectural mock-ups, product prototypes, and sculptural designs, offering a cost-effective way to test designs before full production.
-
Sports & Safety Equipment – CNC foam shaping is used for gymnastics mats, crash pads, and protective foam layers for sports applications.
