While standard cutting creates profiles, true customization often requires creating depth. You need precise pockets for tools, custom-fit nests for delicate products, and contoured surfaces for specialized applications. This is where milling technology excels.
This video showcases a powerful capability of our EVA EPE Foam Sponge CNC Machine: utilizing a high-speed milling cutter to carve and shape EVA foam. Watch as the machine flawlessly removes material to create clean, accurate pockets directly from a digital design.
Unlike a knife that slices through material, the milling tool is a rotating cutter that is engineered to:
Carve Pockets (Pocketing): Precisely remove foam to a specific, controlled depth, creating perfect nests for tools or products.
Create Grooves & Channels: Mill channels for wiring, tubing, or interlocking parts.
Shape 3D Contours: Sculpt the surface of a foam block to create ergonomic shapes, models, and prototypes.
This entire process is driven by the same professional CAD-to-production principle. You design the depth and shape in your software, and the machine executes your vision with robotic accuracy.
This milling function transforms your CNC cutter into a complete foam fabrication center. By equipping the machine with different tools, you can tackle any job:
Use the Milling Cutter for:
Tool Control Inserts: Create professional shadow boards and Kaizen foam drawer liners where every tool has its place.
Custom Protective Packaging: Design form-fitting packaging that cradles your product securely.
Prototyping and Modeling: Build 3D models and industrial design prototypes.
Switch to the Oscillating Knife for:
Through-Cutting Parts: Quickly cut out gaskets, seals, and the outer profiles of your foam projects.
This versatility means you can complete complex, multi-stage projects on a single, efficient platform.
