Laser Cutting Polystyrene or Styrofoam

‍Polystyrene, commonly known as Styrofoam or piepschuim, is used for countless purposes. It is a material that can be quickly processed in various forms and sizes. A BRM laser cutting machine gives you the ability to cut or engrave polystyrene faster and better than ever before, with a precision that a traditional milling machine could never match.

Cutting Polystyrene with a Laser Machine: What Are the Benefits?

‍Laser cutting Styrofoam with a laser machine offers many advantages over using a traditional cutting machine. All these benefits quickly lead to a 150% increase in production capacity.

‍

First, a BRM laser cutter is accurate up to 0.1 mm, allowing you to easily cut even the most detailed shapes from polystyrene. Second, you don’t need to secure the polystyrene to the worktable, as there is no physical contact. This means no resistance is applied to the material. Additionally, the heat from the laser ensures that the cut edge is immediately sealed, significantly reducing the need for post-processing time.

Furthermore, BRM laser machines are generally much less maintenance-intensive than traditional cutting machines. You don’t have to deal with worn-out blades or cutting tools. All of this makes purchasing a BRM laser cutter a much more efficient solution for processing Styrofoam, resulting in a final product of much higher quality than before.
