This might be helpful for others, I just cut 10mm EVA Foam (Black) with my 10w laser on SM A350. My Settings were:work speed 600,N Passes 2,step 0.01,laser power 50%I used the AutoFocus setting with Luban. There was smoke but I use the fan and Air Purifier at low. The foam was taped flat around the edges with masking tape. I did all this because I needed to have precision cuts.600 @ 75% power was too much smoke but worked. 1200 @ 100% also worked but too much smoke.
What did not work was: 1200 @ 1 pass and 100%, 700 & 800 speed at 2 passes and 50%, they did not cut through the EVA foam.Hopefully, we can build a list for all EVA foams thickness from 1mm to 10mm thick and get faster cutting time with less smoke.Now I need to find the best place to buy EVA Foam in ON, Canada.
Our EVA foam is a cut above the commonly acquired kind, offering a smooth finish on both sides for ease of gluing your layers to provide the detailing you want. Our regular density also allows for sanding and carving, providing significant benefits for a great look and finish.

EVA Foam is a versatile high-density foam commonly used to ensure the safe transportation of digital and production equipment. It has been adapted to create footwear and leisure equipment solutions and is a favourite material for craft and costume design. EVA Foam - ethylene vinyl acetate foam, is available to purchase as ready-to-use inserts or in customisable foam sheets.

Eva Foam is the perfect choice for your craft project or costume creations. EVA Foam comes in a range of thicknesses and colours. EVA Foam is more flexible than other standard polyethylene foams. The sheets can easily be cut and shaped into cosplay costumes and tactile artworks.
Unlike heavier materials used for cosplay, EVA foam weighs about two pounds per cubic foot. That means you can build entire costumes including shields, armor, helmets, and more without getting weighed down.

Senior staff writer Ingrid Skjong is a certified personal trainer (NASM CPT) and an enthusiastic runner who has included foam rolling in her regular routine for more than five years. She has also taught foam-rolling techniques to personal training clients and willing family and friends. She covers fitness for Wirecutter, writing about everything from fitness trackers and jump ropes to how to keep a workout journal.
Writer Amy Roberts is a certified personal trainer (NASM CPT) and a running coach twice over (USATF Level 1 and RRCA). She has foam rolled consistently for years, using many different types and textures in her pursuit of the best self-myofascial release. She has also reviewed all manner of fitness products for Wirecutter, including resistance bands, adjustable dumbbells, and pull-up bars.
For an update to this guide, Amy again consulted massage therapist Polina Savelieva to help evaluate four vibrating foam rollers. And finally, in our most recent round of testing, Ingrid assessed 12 additional rollers across our chosen categories using the same criteria listed above:
Massage therapist Polina Savelieva and Amy reviewed four top-rated, best-selling models: the Hyperice Vyper 2.0, the NextRoller, the VulkRoll Vibrating Foam Roller, and the Product Stop Vibrating Foam Muscle Roller. For our 2021 update, we tried the Therabody Wave Roller. We used each one as a foam roller first (no vibration), then rolled with each on its lowest and highest power settings, evaluating the sensation and intensity.
Ultimately, though, we think most people would be better served by spending less than a third of the cost of either model on our top pick. (See more details on all five vibrating foam rollers we tried.)
The dual-textured Gaiam Restore Deep Tissue Foam Roller is made of smooth, dense foam. But it feels cheaply made. We also spotted a few customer reviews on the Gaiam website complaining of internal cracking or seams coming apart.
The world of EVA foam costuming is a rabbit hole, and many foam armor projects are ridiculously complex and take hundreds of hours and a lot of patience to build, but this is an beginner lesson designed to introduce you to some of the basic techniques through the creation of a relatively simple shoulder piece for a superhero costume. If you are intrigued after this instructable and want to dive deeper, check out this collection of superhero related projects where you'll find a lot of other great EVA foam tutorials.
Because EVA Foam is used for so many purposes besides costumes, it can be sourced from a lot of convenient places in slightly different forms. Some kinds will be denser or softer than others, some will have a texture on one or both sides, and you will find it in a wide variety of thicknesses.
In order to get EVA foam, you used to have to buy products intended for other uses like thick tiles used for floor covering, softer floor mats that come in rolls, and smaller sheets or rolls of thin craft foam. The first two can often be found at hardware stores and will usually have a texture, which can be nice if you are creating certain kinds of armor, but if you want a blank slate to work on it can be annoying. Craft foam sheets and rolls, which are thinner and smooth on both sides, are sold at places like Michaels.
EVA foam has now become such a popular material that now there are some dedicated sites selling foam specifically for costumes. My go-to site is TNT Cosplay Supply - they sell large sheets of smooth, dense high quality foam in both black and white and a variety of thicknesses.
To create costume pieces with both structure and details you'll need to have a few thicknesses on hand. For my shoulder piece I used 8mm and 4mm foam, and for the core of my Worbla headpiece (which we'll talk about in the next lesson) I used 2mm.
There are many ways to create patterns for EVA foam accessories, and the best methods for patternmaking will vary depending on what kind of accessory you're creating. My go-to patternmaking method for most accessories is to make a mock-up in paper and oak tag (thin cardboard used for pattern drafting) using a dress form and my own body. If you don't have a dress form you can just use yourself, or get a friend to act as your mannequin while you get some basic shapes and proportions.
This method is good for pieces like this shoulder armor that don't have to fit as precisely against the body. If you are making something more fitted, like a breastplate, you can use the tape and saran wrap method, like ErikaT5 uses in this great Leather Corset Instructable. This is saran wrap trick a very popular and effective method for creating patterns for both foam and Worbla accessories, and I'll show you a version of it in our lesson on Worbla.
I decided wanted to cut-out the foam over the shoulder where the circular shoulder detail was going to sit. To create the pattern for the shoulder detail, I cut a flat 'O' a little bigger than the one I wanted to create and then sliced it on two sides and taped it back together in a cone. Once I had something the right size, I cut it open again to create a flat pattern.
EVA foam can be formed through heat shaping, so to account for the areas that I knew I was going to heat shape later (such as around the neck) I slashed into the paper to give it something close to the proper shape. This is a technique that is used sometimes in draping to get fabric to fit around a form, but it works a little differently here because the slashes actually allow the stiff oak tag to mimic the more flexible qualities if the foam.
Now you're almost ready to start cutting out your foam pieces, however there is one complication. The tricky thing about creating paper patterns for foam is that unlike the paper, the foam has a thickness, so on a curved surface, a flat paper pattern can't be a fully accurate guide for cutting out your foam pieces after the first layer. 781b155fdc
