I have a general question for this helpful community of laser owners;
Is a CO2 laser a good tool for cutting Polyethylene (PE) foam? If so, what wattage and laser head is needed for 2" thick foam to cut it cleanly?

To be more specific, I want to cut 1/2", 1", and 2" thick White PE foam to be used for packaging products. Typical foam blank will be 24x24", so I know that's one of the bigger laser sizes such as 1060 etc.

I know other tools used are CNC routers with specialized bits and or reciprocating saw heads. I also know this can be done by hand with electric knives and hot wire but we need to make a large number of foam cut outs and have them look clean and professional.

Any and all input will be helpful, especially from laser owners who have cut white PE foam.

Thanks
