Foam is incredibly versatile and has multiple processes available to achieve desired results. Here are some of the most common methods for cutters foam fabricating in California.
Hot Wire Cutting
Hot wire cutting involves hot wire cutting contours and cavities in foam objects. Case liners are an example of when this process is beneficial. Some parts might also need a clean edge, which hot wire cutting can achieve.
Die Cutting
With die cutting, foam sheets can be combined and formed into virtually any shape needed. Simply state your measurements and requirements, and the die-cutting process can achieve them precisely.
Heat Sealing
With heat sealing, foam is compressed into a permanent set. The heat sealing process is used for cleaning filters, instrument organizers for the medical industry, and more.
Thermal Forming
Thermal forming is one of the most popular types of cutters foam fabricating in California. Heat is applied to the material and can be shaped into various products for multiple applications. Those applications include medical foam products, padding for athletes, and much more.
Splitting/Slitting
Foam rolls, planks, and blocks are cut down into any shape or thickness. The foam’s integrity can still be maintained even if the foam is cut down to as small as 1/16” thickness. Vertical and horizontal precision saws make it possible to cut foam blocks into any shape and size for multiple applications.
