What’s a Soft-Cutting Machine?
A LEABON soft-cutting machine is a CNC knife cutter built for soft and semi-rigid sheet materials — foam, sponge, EVA, rubber, leather, PVC, and gasket materials — that a saw blade would tear or burn. An oscillating or drag knife follows CAD patterns to cut complex shapes cleanly and without dust.

What It Cuts
Foam & sponge: mattress, packaging, and insulation foam
EVA & rubber: gaskets, seals, and shock pads
Leather & fabric: upholstery, automotive interior, and shoe uppers
Plastics film & PVC: sheets and composites

Why a LEABON Soft Cutter
Clean edges: knife cutting — no melting, no burn marks, no dust
Flexible tools: oscillating, drag, and rotary knives for different materials
Smart nesting: CAD/CAM auto-nesting saves material
Easy operation: touchscreen HMI, import DXF/PLT/AI patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials can a soft-cutting machine cut?
A: It cuts foam, sponge, EVA, rubber, leather, fabric, PVC and gasket materials — anything too soft or heat-sensitive for a saw or laser.

Q: Oscillating knife or drag knife — what’s the difference?
A: An oscillating knife vibrates up and down to slice thicker, denser foam and rubber; a drag/rotary knife is for thinner leather, film, and fabric. Most LEABON models swap tools quickly.

Q: What cutting area and accuracy?
A: Common working areas cover 1600 × 2500 mm (custom sizes available); cutting accuracy is typically within ±0.1 mm.

Q: What software does it use?
A: A CAD/CAM nesting system with touchscreen HMI; it imports DXF, PLT and AI files so operators cut directly from customer drawings.

Q: What is the lead time and warranty?
A: Standard models are ready in 15–25 working days; customized cutting areas 30–45 days. Every machine includes a 12-month warranty and ships crated by sea.

Q: Which LEABON machines pair with it?
A: After cutting soft panels you may edge band rigid boards on an Edge Banding Machine, or size sheets on a Sliding Table Saw.
