Laser Cut Foam | Laser Engraving Foam | Custom Foam Inserts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- This week we're laser cutting foam to create foam inserts for
our industrial tools. These custom mat foam inserts are made
from polyethylene foam (PE foam or PEF), which are laser friendly to cut and engrave. We use our Trotec Speedy 400 100w laser cutting machine.
Engraving: 70 power, 80 speed, 1 pass, 0.1 z-offset
Cutting: 30 power, 2 speed, 3 passes
We do advise to always double check the MSDS sheet of any PEF sheet you're going to laser, and ask our Technical staff if the material is safe to cut or engrave.
These foam inserts are ideal for organizing and storing industrial tools, instruments, promotional items, awards and any objects you would like to display in a professional manner.

Brilliant, this must be the way to go for perfection as long as you can afford the lazer tool.
what is your budget?
So cool!! Love my Speedy 300 and will try this application
very cool idea. Love it. Thank you. Now, I will do this on my ortur laser.
Look now what you've started. You've just fueled my OCD lol
So cool I need this!
Fantástico . Rápido y organizado muy bien . Felicidades .
Gracias :)!
Please give a detailed tutorial on how to adjust and use CorelDraw for laser cuting foam. Tanks you very much.
Hi Mojtaba, thank you that's a great suggestion. We will consider it!
Hi @Mojtaba, you can use www.toolkaiser.com/ to generate DXF files suitable for laser cutting. We just finished a first version of our product and would love it if you could give it a try. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions, we'd happy to help with your tool organization process. Thanks!
I was wondering how to transport the exact measurement from a picture. Scaling it to the size of the box is the trick. Thanks. Ill use and abuse this.
Brilliant.
Can you do another demo on how you enlarged the image the image to fit the box and maybe explain as you go? im trying to figure out a way to do the exact thing but on lightburn.
Nice!
Nice
Is Kaizen foam laser-friendly?😀
Wow very nice
Thank u, that procedure is simple and accurate, I'd use a good 2D cad, instead of Corel to obtain a STL file.
My answer is: is it possible to use a laser head mounted into a 3D printer (let's say a Creality Ender 3 PRO) in order to cut foam?
May you give info on the laser power needed?
Cool video.
I see in the description that you were using the Speedy 400 100W; can you share the other settings used? Specifically, the power, speed, and passes settings?
Thanks!
Thanks Dan! We've added the settings to the description section.
Awesome, thanks!
Can this cut 2” thick high density pink insulation foam?
Can you make a video more detail on the software portion? I tried to follow yours, but it seems to cut out in some detail areas. Alot of companies require that you provide the file for the cut out... alot of places that I call states for them to do it, it would cost in the hundreds of dollars.
We offer this service to convert photos into vector images. Glad to to help if interested. DM us at info@tracemyspace.com
Hey guys, what about technical foam LDPE? I have a 150w CO2 laser and I would like to use that foam for the same thing you are using it. Can it be cut safely and not stick to lenses?
Amazing!
Do you guys sell the machine??
How much?
I need to laser engrave and cut 15 lb HDU Foam (Sign foam). I have a ULS 150w CO2 laser. I really need help on the settings. In the material database, there isn't an option for polyurethane foam. I could REALLY use some help.
Did you find an answer? Looking for a supplier of this but all my research says it will kill you from the gases but many people seem to say it is "safe" however the general make up of the foam is a gas product. So yes it does work but really bad health wise.
We're not sure about HDU foam, we would have to see the MSDS sheet.
What does the laser cost
Where did you get the foam? What laser wattage were you using and what were your settings? We have 80 watt 300 and 400 Trotecs.
Hi guys, we are in the process of bringing this stuff in and selling it in Canada. We're pretty sure it's not available from Trotec USA. As for laser settings, they are in the description section. Thanks!
OK ,I am from Laser machine factory .This machine is called Chanxan fiber laser cutting machine . Add whatsapp 008618361445350 for more detail
You missed talking about determining the depth and building up the foam for certain tools.
Hi thanks for the comment! Well we've easily cut foam of 1" thick, for deep boxes you can layer these foam sheets on top of one another (they come in various thicknesses). Building up the foam is a nice feature we want to display in future videos.
what software are you using to draw the shapes to be cut?
CorelDraw, but you can use any design software including Adobe Illustrator and InkScape
Hi Andrei, we have been working for the past several months to simplify the tool organization process. You can watch a demo here - ua-cam.com/video/jgCmRlkGDZc/v-deo.html. The idea is to take a few photos and let machine learning do the rest for you: extract accurate outlines, recognize tools, group and lay them out in a few seconds. We would love it if you could give toolKaiser a try at www.toolkaiser.com/ and could give us some feedback. Please do not hesitate to connect with us at info@toolkaiser.com if you have any questions.
@@TrotecLaserCanada can we use autocad for this?
(One of the few foams).....
What about different styrofoams?
Make sure to always go through MSDS sheets.
Hey Trotec,
I can use a Trotec speedy flexx laser at the local fablab to cut my own Foam inlay, but I'm wondering how good the fit is when you make a photo of the items you want to place in it, and do you recon it works on lighter colored foams?
Hi Sebastian, it depends on the foam density you're using but as long as you measure your overall box (outer shape) correctly then they should fit right in, it worked for us. Light foams can burn a bit so try using lower power and multiple passes if you need to.
OK ,I am from Laser machine factory .This machine is called Chanxan CO2 laser cutting machine . Add whatsapp 008618361445350 for more detail
Is it a fiber laser? Are you using pulsed settings? Or CW?
Hi Jesus, we're using a CO2 laser in the video.
Thank you! Nice application!

Cost of the laser machine pls?
Where can the foam be purchased?
Hi William, we are currently in the process of making it available in Canada. It make take a few months to fully launch it.
Cool! I'll be looking for it! Will you also sell red or yellow foam so you can create shadow boards to see if any tools are missing?
Hi Todd, for now we've only found charcoal and white.
Actually, on second thought, since you don't have to cut out a bottom layer you could use any foam underneath for the contrasting bottom layer.
Yes pretty much.
GREAT MUSIC! i really loved it! were you talking about something? could not hear you over the really great music!
Hi, Can you use trotec for the 5mm foam boad
Hi Kuda, we are not sure it all depends on the type of foam and material. As far as our foam we can confirm that it's safe and easy to cut.
@@TrotecLaserCanada elmers foambord 5mm, Can you confirm if trotec has 5mm and 10mm foam boards
Thanks for your quick response
@@kudamidzi1254 Hi Kuda, we can only speak to foamboard in Canada. We do have Smart-X laserable foamboard that's both 5mm and 10mm. What country are you in?
@@TrotecLaserCanada Hi, Im in Victoria BC
if you are in Canada you can register on our webstore here: www.engraving-supplies.ca and then you can order laser foam and laser foam board
it can be done without layers
Marcin F hi, do you mean with the CNC or the laser?
Do you have to cut 2 1" thick foam panels, to comfortably fit the deeper tools?
IE: How do you manage to fit objects that are deeper than others?
Cut several thinner bits and glue em' together!
Do you guys offer this as a service? I’d like to get some foam cut for my gun case?
Hey James, unfortunately we do not. However, you can reach out to your local Trotec about your inquiry and they will be able to guide you from there.
Thanks again for watching.
James- I do offer this service. Email me and I’ll send you a link. Steve.

Is it also possible to Laser cut EVA-Foam with the CO2-Laser? Asking for all the cosplayer out there...
We would have to see the MSDS sheets, we know for sure that Polyethylene is laser-friendly.
@@TrotecLaserCanada what are MSDS sheets? Sorry, my english is not the best
Material Data Safety Sheets . They are standard for all materials in Canada
@@TrotecLaserCanada so are those sheets similar at everey trader who sells EVA Foam?
