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.
