what foam materials can be cut by hot wire?

Hot wire foam cutting is a great way to create precise cuts in foam. It is a versatile technique that can be used to cut a variety of foam materials, including:

• Polystyrene foam (EPS): This type of foam is commonly used for insulation, packaging, and model-making. It is lightweight and easy to cut, and it can be used for a variety of projects.
• Extruded polystyrene (XPS): This type of foam is more rigid than EPS foam, and it is often used for roofing and siding. It can also be cut with a hot wire, but it may require more passes to achieve a clean cut.
• Polyurethane foam: This type of foam is often used for furniture and cushions. It is more difficult to cut with a hot wire than EPS or XPS foam, but it can be done with a sharp wire and a steady hand.
• Foam rubber: This type of foam is often used for mattresses and other bedding. It is the most difficult type of foam to cut with a hot wire, but it can be done with a very sharp wire and a lot of patience.

Here are some of the benefits of using a hot wire to cut foam:

• Precision: Hot wire cutting can be used to create very precise cuts, which is ideal for creating models, prototypes, and other projects that require accuracy.
• Speed: Hot wire cutting is a relatively fast way to cut foam, which can save time on large projects.
• Ease of use: Hot wire cutting is a relatively easy technique to learn, and it does not require any special skills or training.
