Hot Wire Cutting Services

At Williams Foam, we have the ability to hot wire cut polystyrene foam up to 50" thick. Our hot wire cutter is CNC controlled and able to cut custom precision shapes from polystyrene with densities up to 3 lbs. Because the wire is controlled through CAM programming, custom shapes can be cut without expensive tooling. Shape dimensions can be directly imported from customer’s CAD drawing files. This allows us to cut a range of production volumes efficiently while remaining cost competitive. Dimensional tolerances as tight as 0.125" can be held as required. These tolerances are difficult and costly to achieve using simple manual hot wiring equipment, but easily maintained with our advanced CNC cutters. Due to its flexibility, hot wiring is well suited for producing a range of products including packaging and architectural shapes.
Other available CNC cutting processes include both horizontal and vertical contour cutting, die cutting, sheeting, and skiving. By offering multiple processes, the most efficient method can be chosen for a given application. In addition to cutting, we offer laminating services including foam to foam, foam to wood, and foam to corrugated laminations. A wide variety of material is kept in-stock for fast turnaround on rush projects. For more information about our foam hot wiring capability, see the table below, contact us us directly.
