The Challenges of Traditional Foam Cutting Methods
Traditional foam cutting methods such as hot wire cutting, die-cutting, and laser cutting have their own sets of limitations:
Precision: Traditional methods often lack the precision required for intricate shapes and sizes.
Material Wastage: Inefficient cutting leads to material wastage, increasing overall costs.
Speed: Manual operations are slower, impacting the lead time for project completion.
Flexibility: Customization is limited, or sometimes impossible, without reconfiguration or even replacing the entire cutting setup.
Safety: Methods like hot wire and laser cutting involve high temperatures, posing safety risks. Moreover, during the process of cutting foam, the laser will produce pungent smoke, which will affect the health of the operator.
