I am sure it will cut styrene. It depends on the thicknes and finish you want. I have cut 25mm polystyrene and while the top surface is OK the back has melted away.

If you want to send us a sample of the material and what you want to cut we could have a go for you.

If you are in the area you could arrange to call in and have a go.

You cannot cut PVC as chlorine gas would be given off.
