Foam Cutting Machine FAQ

  • Q What foam materials can Shilai CNC foam cutters process?

    A Shilai CNC foam cutting machines can cut EVA, EPE, XPE, EPP, PU foam, sponge, EPS, XPS, PE foam and EPDM gasket foams. ​
    Different models and tool configurations are available to match soft foams, rigid foams and technical sealing materials.

  • Q How is knife cutting different from hot wire cutting for foam?

    A Knife cutting uses oscillating blades and optional milling tools to cut foam, avoiding the smoke, fumes and burned edges that hot wires can produce on EPS and XPS. ​
    It also supports more complex shapes, pockets and multi-depth features that are difficult to achieve with standard hot wire cutters.

  • Q Do I still need steel dies with a CNC foam cutting machine?

    A No, CNC foam cutting machines are dieless systems that follow CAD drawings, so you do not need to build steel dies for each new product. ​
    This reduces tooling cost and lead time and makes it easier to handle custom orders and frequent design changes.

  • Q What support and training does Shilai provide for foam cutting?

    A Shilai offers training on machine operation, CAD/CAM workflow, cutting parameters and nesting strategies for foam applications, either online or on-site when required. ​
    Ongoing technical support and spare parts supply help you maintain stable, efficient foam cutting production.
