Styrofoam cutter

Styrofoam is difficult to work with knives. With our styrofoam cutter, you can precisely shape the material into the desired form. Both 2D and 3D models are possible. In this way, you can produce architectural city building models as well as concrete formwork and much more.

I would like to ...

...book the Styroporcutter

The prerequisite for using the Styroporcutter is a valid Styroporcutter equipment licence as well as a valid SLUBcard and occupational health and safety instruction.

Users with an equipment licence can reserve the Styroporcutter independently. Reservations can be made at least one day before the start time and up to 14 calendar days in advance.

In the course of the system changeover, not all users with an equipment licence have been activated for independent booking. If you are affected, please log into the booking system with your user number and password and send us an e-mail. We will activate your account as soon as possible.

...inform me about the costs

The use of the polystyrene cutter is free of charge.

...obtain the polystyrene cutter equipment licence.

You will learn all the basics in the e-tutorial. After passing the knowledge test, you will be activated for the on-site training in the Makerspace. We can arrange individual dates for you to obtain your polystyrene cutter licence. Please send us a message via our contact form.

...prepare my booked appointment

Please bring the following with you to the appointment:

  • your valid SLUBcard
  • the files to be processed on a USB stick (please bring a separate file in *.dxf format or *.dwg format for each plate)

You can find out which materials you are allowed to cut with the polystyrene cutter in our e-tutorial.

All information on how the file should be prepared can be found in another e-tutorial.
