How strong is foam core? The results surprised everyone!

Foamcore is an amazing lightweight and strong material that can be easily cut. It is perfect for building 3D models, mounting photographic prints, and trade show displays. If put under direct pressure, the material dents and loses its shape easily, but with the right design, 858 Graphics showed how one sheet of 1/2” foam can be used to create a 3ft table that weighs less than 1lb but can support over 80lbs.

I just want to make sure everyone understands that an entire sheet of 4’x8’ foamcore weighs less than 1lb! Because it is so light, it is also fragile. If you squeeze it with your thumb, you will leave a permanent indentation. Also, because it is a paper product, it is very flammable.
