Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials can the Electric Foam Cutter Pen cut through?

A: This electric foam cutter pen is designed primarily for thermoplastic foam materials such as polystyrene (EPS/Styrofoam), foam boards, foam packaging, and similar expanded foam materials. It is not intended for cutting wood, fabric, or hard plastics.
