Күн бұрынIn today's mini-project we'll be cutting foam with a 20W diode laser. The goal here is to have a custom foam cut out for a hard covered case to house custom knives or tools.

Dang it, every time I convince myself I don't need a laser someone comes along and finds another use for one that would fit another need of mine. Thanks for the demonstration.

Thank you greatly sir! This may be a standard for me on bowie/sheath combos in the future (a pocket for the knife and a pocket for the sheath in the same case). Cheers

Very interesting. I'm looking into a laser cutter and thought you could only cut EVA foam. This is exactly the application I'm looking for.

Sweet! After trying to fit my personal defense device and its magazines into some of that pre-scored foam and having it look like 💩, I’ll be ordering some regular foam to make a custom insert now. Your case looks very professional, and you made it look easy. Well, at least not as difficult as I thought it would be. LOL. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for showing the laser cutting the foam. I make custom inserts for my projects and I'm cutting them out by hand. They come out ok, but not great. The laser looks like it came out way better. The questions I have are, how are the fumes? And did the foam catch on fire or melt at any point? Keep making and stay awesome.
@RedBeardOps 11 ай бұрын
Hey Adam, I kept the door open with a fan running... be carful breathing it! The foam didn't catch on fire, but I could tell it was a little "melty" on the edges. I think after it cools its firm again.

Hi, Nice job (and not only for the case / foam), cool to have such a tutorial ! I'm going to make my own tries with a Falcon 2 (22W) soon, and it seems difficult to find tables with the "right" parameters regarding different heights & densities for the foam. Have you tried other densities / hieghts (or foam types) ? Have a nice day
@RedBeardOps 6 ай бұрын
I really have not! Best advice is to get some test pieces and start making passes; that's what I did with this stuff.
