An electric carving knife can be used.Can depend on the density of the foam tho

DTH?

Legend's answer is the most commonly recommended method. Another way is to make a plywood, hardboard, or MDF pattern, lay it on the foam, and compress the foam until it's fully flattened. (This could take quite a bit of pressure). Then cut the foam along the curve with a Stanley knife, using a new blade. When compressing the foam, you have to make sure you push straight down, with no sideways movement. Try on a scrap piece.
