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 produces clean, slightly darker edges and sturdy engravings with sharp contrast when laser cut. Note: the material may expand or deform slightly under tension in the machine.

✔ Resilient and flexible
✔ Impact-resistant and durable
✔ Cutting width approx. ± 0.6 mm
