Abstract

An overview of previous research provides a fundamental understanding of the current state of the process of cutting styrofoam on a CNC cutter, identifying gaps and the need for further research. Identification of important parameters, such as wire cutting speed, density of the styrofoam and current intensity, provide the basis for planning the experiment. The research methodology is described in detail, including the selection of
factors, levels, and design of experiment (Box-Behnken design). The analysis of the data obtained by the experiment is focused on the output sizes 𝑦𝑦1 (external measure) and 𝑦𝑦2 (internal measure), with an emphasis on statistical analysis using Minitab and Microsoft Excel software. Through a comprehensive review, the paper aims to contribute to the understanding and optimization of the process of cutting styrofoam on a CNC cutter,
providing insights into the influence of parameters on the quality of cutting.
