Purpose-Built Hot-Wire CAM
From DXF to foam cut in minutes.
FoamCut turns customer drawings into machine-ready hot-wire output. Import a file, generate an optimized path, preview the job, and export clean G-code for real production work.

Cut-ready
Preview in 2D and 3D before you export
Check cut order, simulation, and output before a paid blank ever touches the wire.

Use the workflow where your operators actually run jobs.
Problem / Solution
Hot-wire shops do not need generic CAD/CAM complexity.
FoamCut is purpose-built for foam cutting. Instead of fighting a broad CNC toolchain, you get a workflow centered on the jobs hot-wire operators actually do every day: importing customer files, dialing in kerf, checking cut order, previewing the result, and exporting reliable G-code.
Customer-file first
The workflow starts where real jobs start: DXF, SVG, traced images, and rough sketches.
Hot-wire specific controls
Kerf, bridges, tabs, lead-in / lead-out, nesting, and machine output are built into the core workflow.
Confidence before export
Preview the cut, inspect the path, and catch mistakes before they cost material or machine time.
Core Benefits
Built for repeatable shop work.
01
Faster setup
Import a customer drawing, detect paths automatically, and move into a cut-ready workflow without a broad CAD/CAM detour.
02
Less waste
Kerf compensation, cut ordering, bridge control, and better previewing help protect material and margin.
03
Repeatable jobs
Save proven setups and rerun work with confidence instead of rebuilding jobs every time an order comes back.
04
No IT burden
FoamCut is designed to be easy to run in a browser or locally in the shop when internet is inconvenient.
Input To Cut
Everything you need from import to machine-ready output.
Import and Trace
Import DXF and SVG files, trace high-contrast images, or bring a hand sketch in from your phone with Sketch Photo Inbox.
Draw and Edit In-App
Create or adjust geometry with lines, polylines, circles, rectangles, ellipses, text, booleans, offsets, arrays, and alignment tools.
Optimize Automatically
Generate cutting paths automatically, then fine-tune entry points, exit points, and bridges when a part needs manual control.
Preview Before You Cut
Validate the job with G-code preview, cut simulation, and 3D preview before you export.
Production Tools
Built for real shop work.
FoamCut includes the tools operators need to move from one-off parts to repeatable production jobs.

Workflows
Support standard work and advanced workflows in one system.
Cut Text and Shapes
The main workflow for imported or drawn foam parts.
Text
Create signs, letters, and decorative parts directly from fonts.
Laminated Parts
Slice foam blocks into repeatable horizontal or vertical slabs.
Tapered 4-Axis
Cut shapes with different root and tip profiles.
Rotary / TwistRot
Handle more complex rotary-axis forms and specialty jobs.
Simulation + Preview
Review the path, machine motion, and visual result before export.
Who It Is For
Best fit for small teams who need faster setup and more repeatable output.
Foam-cutting shops
RC wing and airfoil builders
Sign and display makers
Pattern and mold makers
Prototype and fabrication teams
Objection Handling
The questions buyers ask before they commit.
Q
Do I need internet?
No. FoamCut can run online in the browser or locally for offline shop work, depending on how your team prefers to operate.
Q
Can I use customer files directly?
Yes. The workflow is built around importing DXF and SVG files and getting them into a production-ready flow quickly.
Q
Is it only for simple 2D jobs?
No. FoamCut supports 2D parts, text, laminated slicing, 4-axis tapered work, and 5th-axis rotary workflows.
Q
Will it help with consistency?
Yes. FoamCut standardizes path generation, machine setup, preview, and export so reruns are more predictable.
