CNC Foam Cutting Machines for Packaging Inserts, Cases & Gaskets

Cutting foam for packaging inserts, cases, gaskets and insulation by hand or with simple tools often leads to compressed edges, inconsistent shapes and wasted material.​
Shilai CNC foam cutting machines use high-frequency oscillating knife technology and optional milling tools to cut EVA, EPE, XPE, PU, EPS, sponge and other foams cleanly without compression or deformation.​
Whether you serve protective packaging, tool cases, automotive parts or insulation projects, our foam cutters help you increase precision, save labor and improve material utilization.​
Tell us your foam types, thicknesses and product requirements, and our team will recommend a CNC foam cutting solution that fits your production.

Shilai offers different CNC foam cutting machine models to match soft foams, rigid foams and technical foam applications, from simple profiles to complex pockets and 3D shapes.​
Each model combines oscillating knife cutting, optional milling and intelligent control to support accurate, efficient foam processing in your factory.

A CNC foam cutting machine is a digital knife cutting system that uses oscillating blades and optional milling tools to process foam materials according to CAD drawings instead of manual templates or dies.​
The machine follows digital files to cut profiles, pockets and grooves with accurate dimensions and clean, vertical edges, even on soft and compressible foams.​
By replacing manual cutting and die tooling, CNC foam cutters make it easier to produce customized shapes, small batches and frequent design changes with stable quality.

Foam materials you can cut

• Soft foams: EVA foam, EPE foam, XPE, EPP, sponge and similar cushioning foams.​
• Rigid foams: EPS, XPS, PE foam, PU foam and foam board sheets.​
• Technical and sealing foams: EPDM foam and other gasket and seal materials.

• Clean, compression-free cuts: oscillating knife cutting avoids crushing the foam, keeping edges vertical and shapes accurate for precise inserts and gaskets.​
• No hot wires, less dust: digital knife cutting eliminates the fumes and rough edges of hot wires on EPS and XPS, and reduces dust compared with many mechanical cutting methods.
• High precision and repeatability: ±0.1 mm cutting accuracy supports tight tolerances for packaging inserts, case layouts and technical foam parts.​
• Design flexibility: follow CAD drawings to create custom pockets, profiles, logos and multi-depth features without building steel dies.​
• Lower tooling cost and faster changeover: dieless cutting lets you change designs quickly and cost-effectively for new products and customers.

• High-frequency oscillating knife heads for soft foams and gasket materials.​
• Optional high-speed milling tools to create pockets, grooves and 3D contours in thicker or rigid foams.​
• Flatbed and auto-feed conveyor options to match sheet cutting and continuous foam processing.​
• Intelligent nesting software to arrange parts on foam sheets and reduce material waste.

Shilai foam cutting machines are used by manufacturers and fabricators who need precise foam parts and inserts for protection, insulation and presentation.​

Protective packaging & case inserts
Foam cutters produce custom inserts for instrument cases, tool kits, consumer electronics packaging and industrial equipment protection.​
Clean, repeatable pockets and multi-layer inserts help secure products during transport and enhance brand presentation.​

Automotive & industrial gaskets
EPDM and other foam materials are cut into seals, gaskets and cushioning components for automotive, HVAC and industrial equipment.​
Dieless cutting supports complex shapes and rapid design updates without new dies.​

Insulation, signage & models
EPS, XPS and other rigid foams are cut for architectural models, insulation blocks and 3D sign letters.​
Digital knife and milling tools create clean shapes and contours without burning, compatible with finishing and painting.​

Furniture, bedding & acoustics
Soft foams and sponge are cut for furniture cushions, mattresses, acoustic backing and interior comfort materials.​
CNC cutting improves fit and appearance while reducing manual trimming and adjustment
