EVA Foam 3mm

UV cuts foam without melted edges. Clean result.

UV cuts EVA foam without melting edges. Cleaner than diode.

EVA foam cuts cleanly at 65%. Avoid cutting on bare metal bed.

EVA fumes are toxic — good ventilation essential.

Use air assist — EVA can melt and re-seal. Keep speed up and power moderate.

EVA foam cuts cleanly on the D1 Pro at 70%. Low-medium power prevents excessive melting. No air assist. Heavy fumes — ventilate well. Good for foam stamps and cosplay props.

EVA foam cuts on the S20 Pro at 70%. Turn off air assist. Heavy fumes — use maximum ventilation. Clean single-pass cuts for stamps and craft projects.

EVA foam cuts cleanly on the Falcon2. 62% at 800mm/min avoids excessive melting. No air assist. Heavy fumes — ventilate well. Clean edges for craft and cosplay use.

EVA foam cuts very cleanly at minimal power on the 100W CO2. 15% at 1500mm/min — lowest power that achieves a clean cut. CO2 cuts foam far more cleanly than diode. Heavy fumes — run full ventilation. Excellent for cosplay, protective inserts, and custom packaging.

EVA foam cuts on the Glowforge Pro at very low power. 1000 Glowforge units / 18% power. CO2 cuts foam cleanly — much less melting than diode. EVA releases fumes — run the Glowforge air filter. Great for stamps and cosplay props.

EVA foam cuts on the LM3 in one pass. Power adjusted down from full to avoid excess melting on cut edges. No air assist. Heavy fumes — use maximum ventilation. Good for stamps and craft projects.

EVA foam cuts cleanly in one pass at 55%. Low-medium power prevents excessive melting at the cut edge. No air assist. EVA releases fumes — maximum ventilation required. Great for foam stamps, cosplay props, and protective padding inserts.

EVA foam cuts cleanly on the xTool S1 at 50% power. Low power to avoid melting too much foam at the cut edge. No air assist. EVA releases fumes when cut — use maximum ventilation or run outdoors. Great for cosplay, packaging inserts, and stamps.

Shallow relief engrave. Good for costume props and cosplay details. Adjust power for depth.

EVA foam cuts very cleanly with CO2. Slight melted edge seals the foam — no fraying. Vent well.

What are the best laser settings for EVA Foam 3mm?

A top-rated community setting for EVA Foam 3mm on the ComMarker B6 20W UV is speed 700 mm/s, power 35%. There are 32 community-tested settings for EVA Foam 3mm across 14 machines on this page.

Can a diode laser engrave or cut EVA Foam 3mm?

Yes - there are 20 community settings for EVA Foam 3mm on diode lasers and 10 on CO₂ lasers. CO₂ lasers generally cut faster and cleaner, but modern high-wattage diode lasers handle most other work well.

Do I need air assist for EVA Foam 3mm?

19% of the community settings for EVA Foam 3mm use air assist. Air assist is optional for most operations but can improve edge quality on cuts.
