Traditional foam cutting often leads to problems such as rough edges, material waste, labor and low work efficiency. However, the vibrating knife foam cutting machine, with its advanced system, easily achieves speed, precision and intelligent automation, and can effectively handle various types of foam materials. Modern foam cutting machines support a wide variety of flexible and semi-rigid foams.
The common foam materials

EPE Foam: Lightweight, shock-absorbing, often used in packaging
EVA Foam: Flexible, durable, found in sports and shoe materials
PE Foam: Closed-cell structure, used in insulation
Memory Foam: Temperature-sensitive, requires non-thermal cutting
Neoprene & Rubber Foam: For sealing, automotive, industrial uses
With a YUCHON CNC foam cutter, these materials can be cut with millimeter-level accuracy—even in complex shapes.
How Does a Vibrating Knife Foam Cutting Machine Work?

The cutting head uses a high-frequency oscillating blade—vibrating tens of thousands of times per minute—to slice through foam without heat. The vibrating knife foam cutting avoids melting, burning, or deforming the material.
Paired with a CNC system, the machine follows precise paths from imported DXF/AI files. Automatic nesting software optimizes cutting layouts to reduce waste by up to 30%. Key features of YUCHON CNC foam cutter include: Cutting Speed: Up to 1000mm/s Accuracy: ±0.1mm precision Material Thickness: Cuts foam up to 100mm thick Supports for coil and sheet materials Why YUCHON Foam Cutting Machines Stand Out YUCHON is a leader in oscillating knife cutting solutions.
