What Is Polystyrene CNC Machining?

At Istar Machining, we use high-speed CNC tools to cut polystyrene with amazing detail. Whether you need one part or thousands, we can help!

Materials We Work With

We work with all types of polystyrene:

• XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) – Strong, water-resistant foam
• HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) – Tougher and more flexible

Our team at Istar Machining’s foam CNC machining department has years of experience with all these materials.
