Die cutting or foam cutting
Die-cutting, or sectioning foam, involves cutting foam pieces into specific shapes using pre-made dies. This is a service offered by Denafoam’s design unit. Some products have custom dies with blades shaped accordingly, which are mounted on die-cutting machines to cut various types of foam with different thicknesses into the desired product shapes. For example, die-cutting or sectioning foam is used before producing final products like promotional items and packaging frames. Die-cutting is a cost-effective method and is mostly used for 2D shapes, especially when repetitive cutting is required to produce a specific part.
Foam products can be found everywhere, such as in sofas, chairs, adhesive tapes, packaging inserts, children’s mattresses, furniture, and upholstery mattresses. If you want to seal parts and create custom shapes, the foam die-cutting process is essential.

What is Foam Die-Cutting?
Understanding the entire foam die-cutting process is quite simple. First, a custom CAD design must be created. Then, based on the CAD drawing, die-cutting tools are made. Using these dies in the cutting machine, foam materials can be easily and precisely cut into custom shapes and sizes. Additionally, die-cutting can be performed very precisely with a digital cutting system. You simply place the foam in the unit and select the desired cut digitally; the cutting system then completes the entire process according to its settings. This operation can be performed in high volumes, as the machine can easily execute the cutting process in just a few seconds for each piece. This means you can handle hundreds of pieces per hour while achieving the value and results you expect without much hassle.
Benefits of Foam Die-Cutting
Die-cutting is a low-cost manufacturing method widely used in making foam gaskets and other custom foam parts. With a foam die-cutting system, you won’t have trouble removing the parts and shapes you want. Die-cut presses have high tonnage and are highly accurate, ensuring each cut is sufficient and matches the proper specifications.
