Contour Cutting
The production of a custom foam piece from a block of foam that uses a special saw and a pattern.
- Horizontal 2D contour cutting
- Vertical 2D contour cutting
- Vertical, horizontal and angular saw cutting
|
- Heated rule contour shaping
- Manual 2D and 3D abrasive wire contour cutting
|
Convolution
The fabrication of foam into an 'egg crate' design which can vary from waves to sharp points.
Deformation / Compression Cutting
The process of changing the shape or size of foam through the use of compressive applied force or heat.
Die CuttingThe process of 'stamping out' foam pieces, like a cookie cutter, to produce uniform pieces for large production runs.
- High-pressure hydraulic die cutting
|
- High-pressure mechanical, high-speed die cutting
|
Hot Melt Adhesive
The process of applying a thermoplastic adhesive, usually with a glue gun, spray gun or roller that has a continuous heating element, for the purpose of boding surfaces together.
- Hot melt wide roller coating
|
- Hot melt adhesive spraying
|
Hot Wire Cutting
The use of a high-temperature wire to cut intricate designs or parts from foam.
|
|
- Mechanical large format hot wire cutting
|
Laminating
The process of bonding layers of foam or foam and other materials together.
- Heat laminating
- Heat welding
- Water based glue applications
|
- Hot melt adhesive applications
- PSA application
|
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Application
The application of an adhesive which forms a bond when pressure is applied allowing a layer of foam to adhere to another layer of foam or material.
Slitting/Peeling
Slitting is the process of cutting a rectangular foam block into sheets of foam. Peeling is the process of cutting a cylinder of foam into thin sheets.
- Heavy duty horizontal splitting

Water Jet Cutting
The process of using a high velocity & high pressure stream of water to cut materials.
- Water Jet Cutting System used for the 6 lb. PE
