>>Like are 3" H80 even cheaper per inch? Or is there a sweet spot? Probably better to ask Rob for the pricing situation. Rob, how does this work?
>As far as I know, D/cell is saw cut as the fumes are toxic. It is made in large blocks, which the manufacturer cuts into sheets.
But what about the pricing? Are thicker inches cheaper?
>My local foam supplier uses an abrasive string for accurate cuts, I weill show him the vid.
Abrasive string is inexpensive. And perhaps a similar table could be made for an abrasive string machine? Perhaps oscillating? Or winding in a loop?

Do you mean no bending post mold, post infusion? Or no bending foam when laying out the mold for infusion?
Maker Spaces are a thing, and they often have a 4'x8' cnc router available, like a shop bot.
So one could cnc score and hole a surface with such a thing. Does that seem reasonable?
