Getting Started

How does CutMyCase work?
It's simple: 1) Upload a photo of your gear with a reference object (like a credit card) for scale. 2) Our AI automatically detects each item and creates precise outlines. 3) Arrange your items in your case layout. 4) We CNC-cut your custom foam and ship it to your door.
What do I need to take a good photo?
Lay your gear flat on a contrasting background (dark items on light surface or vice versa). Include a reference object like a credit card, dollar bill, or ruler for scale calibration. Make sure the photo is well-lit and taken from directly above.
How accurate is the AI detection?
Our AI achieves 99.8% accuracy on item detection. You can always manually adjust outlines, add smoothing, or modify shapes before finalizing your design. We recommend reviewing and approving the design before ordering.
Can I design foam for a case I already own?
Absolutely! Just select your case model from our database or enter custom dimensions. We support Pelican, Nanuk, SKB, Plano, Apache, Seahorse, HPRC, Explorer, and many more brands.

Materials & Quality

What type of foam do you use?
We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) foam, the same material used by premium case manufacturers. It's durable, water-resistant, and provides excellent protection for your gear.
How deep are the cutouts?
You can customize the depth for each item. Standard foam is 2 inches thick, but we offer various thicknesses. For items that need more depth, we can create multi-layer foam sets.
What colors are available?
We offer charcoal gray (standard), black, and orange foam. Custom colors may be available for bulk orders - contact us for details.
How precise is the CNC cutting?
Our CNC machines achieve +/- 0.1 inch tolerance, ensuring your gear fits snugly without being too tight. We also add a small clearance (configurable) for easy insertion and removal.

Pricing & Orders

Due to the custom nature of our products, we cannot accept returns for buyer's remorse. However, we'll replace any foam that has manufacturing defects at no cost.

Case Compatibility

Which case brands do you support?

Can I get foam for a non-standard case?
Yes! Enter your case's interior dimensions (length, width, depth) and we'll create foam to fit. This works for any rectangular case.
Do you sell cases too?
We're currently focused on custom foam inserts. Case sales are coming soon. For now, we recommend purchasing cases directly from manufacturers or authorized retailers.
