Hot Wire Precision
Nichrome wire heated to optimal temperature ensures clean, smooth cuts through foam with zero debris.
Computer Control
Load your design, set parameters, and let the machine execute perfect cuts following precise G-code paths.
4-Axis Movement
Independent control of each tower enables complex 3D shapes, tapered cuts, and variable cross-sections.
Any Shape, Any Size
From architectural models to packaging molds — cut unlimited custom shapes with repeatable consistency.
Efficient & Fast
Rapid cutting speeds with minimal power consumption. Production-ready output in minutes, not hours.
Low Maintenance
Minimal upkeep with easily replaceable nichrome wire and simple, durable components — designed to keep running with zero hassle.
From design to finished product
Design Your Shape
Create your design directly in our ChandramaCAD app or import dxf from Fusion 360, Solidworks, AutoCAD, and other third party apps.
Generate G-Code
ChandramaGCODE automatically converts your design into an optimised gcode -- just one click and the cutting path is ready.
Load & Calibrate
Place the foam block between the towers. The GRBL app send gcode to machine and manual calibration is possible. Run to cut the shape.
Precision Cut
Tap start in the app and watch the hot wire glide through foam, perfectly following your design path in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our CNC hot wire foam cutting machines.
What is a CNC hot wire foam cutting machine?
A CNC hot wire foam cutting machine uses a heated nichrome wire controlled by a computer (CNC) to cut expanded polystyrene (EPS), styrofoam, and thermocol into precise custom shapes. The machine follows G-code paths generated from CAD designs, enabling 0.1mm accuracy and complex 3D profiles. Unlike manual cutting, CNC control ensures perfect repeatability across hundreds of identical cuts.
What materials can this machine cut?
Our CNC hot wire cutter is designed for EPS (expanded polystyrene), thermocol, styrofoam, XPS (extruded polystyrene), and similar foam materials. The heated nichrome wire melts through these materials cleanly without creating dust or debris, producing smooth and precise edges every time.
What is the cutting precision of the machine?
The machine achieves 0.1mm repeatable cutting precision using 4-axis CNC control with high-torque stepper motors and precision lead screws. Cutting time depends on the feed rate set by the user. Each tower moves independently on X-Y axes, enabling complex tapered cuts and variable cross-sections not possible with 2-axis systems.
What are the main applications of a CNC automated hotwire foam cutter?
CNC automated hotwire foam cutters are widely used across industries including:
- Architecture — Scale models and building prototypes
- Packaging — Custom inserts, protective molds, and product packaging
- Signage & Lettering — 3D letters, logos, and display boards
- Events & Weddings — Decorations, backdrops, and themed props
- Film & Stage — Set design elements and props
- Industrial — Rapid prototyping and custom mold making
- Education — Teaching models and science projects
How does the 4-axis CNC control work?
The machine has two towers, each with independent X and Y axis movement (4 axes total). This allows the hot wire to move in different paths on each side of the thermocol block simultaneously, enabling complex 3D shapes, tapered cuts, and variable cross-sections that a simple 2-axis machine cannot achieve. For example, you can cut a shape that is a circle on one side and a square on the other.
Do I need special software to operate the machine?
Every machine comes with customised software developed by Chandrama Solutions — you don't need to download or purchase any additional software. Simply design your shape, load it into our software, and the machine takes care of the rest. The software handles G-code generation, machine control, and cutting parameters all in one place, making the entire workflow seamless and beginner-friendly.
