How to custom cut foam in 5 easy steps!

To begin you’ll need EPE foam, a Stanley knife or blade, a felt tip pen + the equipment you want to fit. For this demonstration we’re using this Titan AV dual colour EPE foam insert custom made for our 2RU rack drawers.
Lightweight, semi-rigid and flexible EPE foam (also known as pearl foam or kaizen foam). Similar to EVA, EPE is commonly used in packaging, used for impact and shock absorption, vibration dampening, and surface protection.
EPE is a medium density foam, some would call it “springy”. It’s easy to cut and therefore perfect for cutting spaces to create a custom fit for your tools, audio gear, cameras, ipads/tablets and hobby gear.

    Step one is find a piece of foam that is the right thickness for the container you're going to put it in step two is cut it to size so it fits in the container

    Cool. I have 5 Verniers and a couple of Micrometers lined up for a Custom Built case. They all have their own individual cases as per when they were purchased but be good to have them in one custom case. Plus I can use the original cutouts from seperate cases for templates

    Hi Jehan, the foam is a multi layer foam so you make the cut around the outside of your item, you can peel out the layers of foam for your desired depth.

    Is the foam you are using the one that is considered the Charcoal Regular Foam or the Charcoal Firm Foam? Also, have you tried cutting with hot wire? Just curious if it will cut that kind of foam.

    The foam in this video is EPE foam which is a medium density closed cell foam. EVA is a high density closed cell foam. We haven't tried using a hot wire but I've heard people saying it doesn't cut very cleanly with a hot wire.

    There are a few different ways to cut holes in foam. Cut it out by hand with a small blade, use a sharp copper pipe to press down and cut the foam or use a hole saw with a drill. You might be able to search for other videos to show you this process a bit better!
