Electric scissors for fabric?

[miker]

Hello! One question! ( Not quite sure if this is the right place to post! )

Can such an industrial electric scissor cut also foam or sponge?

Normally you use this one https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32893964157.html

but i am curious if the other is also capable for cutting foam/sponge?

Thank you!

Don't know the answer to your question but, depending on the application I use a piano wire and a low voltage current. Lots of info here.

As I said, It depends on the application. It can be done with a 12v battery.  I was cutting stacks so invested a bit more including a proper power supply so the length of the wire could be balanced with the power for best speed. I also made a jig so I could just run the arms of the wire rig along it for a perfect cut every time.
