CNC foam cutting machine (CNC Routing Foam Cutting Machine) is a CNC equipment specially used for cutting and processing foam materials. It is widely used in packaging, construction, film and television props production, model processing and other industries. Due to the characteristics of light weight and easy plasticity of foam materials, the high precision and flexibility of CNC foam cutting machine make it an ideal choice in the field of foam processing. This article will introduce the working principle, main features and application scenarios of CNC foam cutting machine.

1. Working principle of CNC foam cutting machine

CNC foam cutting machine uses computer numerical control system to control the movement trajectory of cutting tool or hot wire, so as to achieve precise cutting of foam materials. The operator inputs the design drawing through the computer and converts it into a processing program that can be recognized by CNC machine tool. The machine cuts and processes according to the set path. Compared with traditional manual cutting method, CNC foam cutting machine can achieve cutting of complex geometric shapes, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Depending on the different foam materials, CNC foam cutting machine may use different cutting methods, such as cutting with cutting tool or cutting with hot wire. Cutting with cutting tool is usually suitable for hard foam, while hot wire cutting is mainly used for lightweight foam materials, such as polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane (PU).
