CNC CUT POLYSTYRENE
Cumulus' CNC capabilities allow us to cut complex shapes from polystyrene, providing for unique packaging solutions, specific construction applications, and individual projects. Cumulus' advanced CNC machine allows for electronic setting of the wires, ensuring precision accuracy and mapping according to your design requirements.
Density
Polystyrene density determines compressive thresholds (affecting the force it can withstand) and R-values (an indicator of its insulative properties). Higher density results in higher R-values.
Thickness
Polystyrene blocks can be cut to various thicknesses, generally ranging from 10mm to 200mm depending on the use case. Thicker polystyrene provides greater insulation than thin sheets of polystyrene.
Profile
Polystyrene can be cut into various profiles for each application, including rib-and-block. Cumulus has an advanced automated cutting line, as well as CNC-cutting machines to cater for any need.
CNC products have been successful in providing insulation or packaging protection in the following use cases:
-
Custom construction projects (including complex shapes and curves)
-
Pipe lagging (insulation for pipe systems)
-
Fragile item packaging (such as wine bottles)
-
Custom appliance packaging
