What Is EVA Foam Machining?

How to Machine EVA Foam?

EVA foam (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate foam) is one of the most versatile polymer foams used across industries such as sports, packaging, automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, toys, construction, and more. With its lightweight structure, excellent resilience, shock absorption, and ease of processing, EVA foam has become the preferred material for countless customized components.

4 types process of EVA foam machining

EVA foam machining refers to the process of shaping, cutting, contouring, and finishing EVA materials 

using various manufacturing methods.

CNC Machining

CNC routing is one of the most precise methods for shaping EVA foam. It is ideal for 3D profiles, grooves, pockets, and high-precision inserts.

Die Cutting / Punching

A highly efficient method for mass production. Used for 2D shapes such as gaskets, pads, mats, and protection sheets.

Water-Jet Cutting

Water-jet cutting provides clean edges without heat, ideal for thick foam, laminated foam, or complex patterns.

Hot-Press Forming

Used to create 3D shapes and textures, such as embossing patterns or forming curved structures.

EVA foam milling process

A CNC cutter can quickly and easily create custom-sized pieces of EVA foam that will protect your EVA foam products during shipping.

In addition, using a CNC machine to cut your EVA foam means no need for dangerous sharp blades or knives.

This service can be used for various applications like packing and shipping delicate items, making architectural models, or even creating signs and displays. This makes the process much safer for your employees and makes it less likely that you will have damaged goods due to careless packing.
