The Axis hot wire foam cutters can cut a variety of  foam products.

Examples of extruded foam include Foamular (pink foam manufactured by Owens Corning) and Styrofoam (blue foam manufactured by Dow Chemical Company). Expanded foam (or "Bead board") is similar to foam used for foam cups, packaging, etc.

All of our Axis and Industrial models will cut "foamed" products such as: extruded polystyrene foam, expanded polystyrene foam, polyethylene foam, polyurethane (soft, sponge type foam).

All hot wire cutters (including our competitors) are not able to cut closed cell foams or plastics (such as Plexiglas, PVC sheeting or Sintra/Celtec type products), Urethane boards (such as SignFoam), or rubber.
