EVA foam

Material Overview

EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam is a soft, elastic foam with a dense cell structure. It feels like a yoga mat: light and resilient. This foam delivers clean, slightly darker edges and firm engravings with sharp contrast when laser cut. Note: the material may expand or deform slightly under tension in the machine.

✔ Highlights

✔ Laser compatible – neat cuts and contrasting engravings
✔ Resilient and flexible
✔ Impact-resistant and durable
✔ Cutting width approx.± 0.6 mm
✔ Engravings provide a hard, depth effect
✔ Fine details should be limited to approximately 5 mm for accurate results
