Once you have picked the type of foam that works best for you, it is time to decide what style the foam will be cut in. There are three common options: convoluted/diced, solid, and convoluted.

To make the strongest of cases, usually you will use solid foam for the top of the case and either diced or convoluted for the bottom. This is because diced and convoluted is easier to customize.
A top of the line custom carrying case company will be able to cut their cases in different ways. Different styles of cutting allow for different strength cases to be made. This includes, die cutting, wire cutting, knife cutting, and water-jet cutting. Each of the options offers different benefits. Wire cutting allows for deep/larger cases to be made, where as water-jet cutting offers the highest level of accuracy for unique styles/shapes.
