Scara is a certain type of robot arm, usually with 4 or 5 joints/axis, not a foam cutter.
Yes, it can do indepent axis foam cutter, i have made several of them, and it can have configurations for 2 axis with 4 joints or tandem and a configuration for independent 4 axis, even 5 is you want to add a rotary table.
Some examples

Thank you for reply, by meaning scara - i do have in mind to replace two linear rails with two steppers and some gears on it. For each side. For smaller one it is ok to have 1:4 gear ratio to have ok resolution for foam cutter. With 8 microstep it shell give 0.1227mm step ~0.5mm at 500mm arm radius.

I have made mre than one foam cutter and i do hate to drag it around. Scara would be wery compact then not used.
