CNC foam cutting tools


CUT1600S Pro RTR
The CUT1600S Pro RTR from CNC works on a large Y-axis to cut full-sized foam blocks. According to the manufacturer's website, this machine cuts foam in 2D or 3D as all of its axes operate independently to create 3D tapered cuts such as cones or columns. A microdrive stepper motor propels the Pro RTR to cutting speeds up to 10mm per second. This tool features variable cutting wire length, multi-wire options, 3D mill conversion capabilities and a no-fix machine width. Users control the CUT1600S via a Windows XP powered computer workstation. CNC offers a five-year warranty and an optional 48-hour spare parts service on this foam-cutting tool.

Styrocut 3D Pro
According to CNC's website, the company's Styrocut 3D Pro cuts expandable polystyrene, extruded polystyrene and expanded polypropylene foam types. Though it focuses on 3D cuts driven by separate axes, the 3D Pro also cuts in 2D. The Styrocut 3D Pro features steel construction, a forklift-compatible working table, quiet operation, Autocad compatibility, a fourth axis for tapered cuts and manual control. Computer-controlled microdrive steppers run the machine to speeds up to 20mm per second. The Styrocut comes in a variety of options, including the CUT2500S, the CUT3000S and the CUT3500S. These models come with optional multi-wire arms, rotating tables or additional lathes. CNC covers this tool with a five-year warranty and optional 48-hour spare parts service.

Proficut SPR
CNC's Proficut SPR line focuses on cutting expandable polystyrene, extruded polystyrene and expanded polypropylene foam types via computer control. This is a 2D cutting machine that cuts via 40 wires and flexible, rotating cutting arms, creating horizontal and vertical contour cuts. According to CNC's website, the Proficut's features are similar to those of Styrocut, including steel construction, forklift compatibility, data import via Autocad and step monitoring. The Proficut runs up to 20mm per second on a microdrive stepper motor. For the Proficut machine line, CNC offers a five-year warranty and 48-hour spare parts service as well as training and technical support.
