Can I cut EPDM using my glowforge?
EPDM is ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber
If possible it would be best to check the SDS (safety data sheet) for your specific material. Looking at the SDSes for a few brands I don’t see anything that jumps out at me as unsafe, and I saw one that specifically says laser cutting is ok, but any given material may have additives that would change that. (You’d want to avoid anything that mixes PVC in with the EPDM, for example.)
