Does anyone know where I can buy foam sheets (and possibly where I can have also have them cut)?

So... I have a big pelican case and I am wanting to fill it with foam. Then cut out the holes to precisely fit a camera and lenses. I slightly baffled Home Depot by asking.... apparently they don't carry foam like that?
If I can find the foam sheets... it would actually be nice if the same place could cut them, because I've done it before with a box cutter and it was actually a pain in the butt.
Anyways, I feel like this was hard to describe but perhaps camera owners/gun owners may have some guidance?

I was hunting for large craft foam sheets in Plano for a school project, and local stores only had tiny packs. I ended up ordering from Hygloss, and it was a game-changer — the sheets were big, easy to cut, and didn’t tear while I was gluing and shaping them. For anyone doing bigger DIY or craft projects, getting larger sheets like these makes everything way easier.

Try Rockler in Frisco or Woodcrafters in Plano. What you want is Kaizen foam.

Maybe JoAnn’s Fabrics? I’ve seen thick foam sheets there before; the kind you would use to cover with fabric for custom cushions.

^ Correct answer here - Go to an upholstery shop and ask for scraps. They use an electric carving knife to cut foam. My in-laws retired from upholstery business and I occasionally worked at the shop

You can have cut outs custom made by pelican on their website for whatever you want to put in your case.

Foam insulation at Lowe's and no they won't cut

He said it's for a pelican case. He said he tried home Depot

You’ll want to hit up Joanne’s fabric or hobby town USA.
As for cutting them, you’ll have to find a CNC laser cutter. There are a couple in the area.
I’ve done work with Dragon Street Laser before.

Look online for pick and pluck cubed foam, for just this purpose. You pull pieces out bit by bit to create the desired void.
