Foam is defined as a substance that consists of countless little air bubbles trapped in a solid or liquid state. Foam fabricating is the process of converting polymer foam, a material that is versatile and lightweight. In general, during foam fabrication, foam fabricators melt the material down, froth it up, then cool it. This process fills the material with little bubbles and gives it its sponge-like appearance.

Closed Cell Foam
Closed cell foam is a type of foam where the “cells” are tightly pressed together and enclosed, contrasting with the open, traditional polyurethane foam variation or interconnected cells of the open cell...
Polyethylene Foam
Polyethylene foam is a valuable closed-cell thermoplastic foam material. A closed-cell foam consists of tiny dense cells enclosed by its walls. The cells sit close to each other, but they are not interconnected. Hence, closed-cell foams like...
Polyurethane Foam
Polyurethane foam is a porous, cellular-structured, synthetic material made from the reaction of polyols and diisocyanates. Its structure is a composite of a solid phase and a gas phase. The solid phase is made from...
Die Cutting
Die cutting is a mass fabrication process for cutting out shapes by shearing stock materials such as paper and chipboard using a die, which is a specially crafted tool used for cutting or shaping a material. The die has sharp...
Plastic Fabrication
Plastic fabrication is the process of designing, manufacturing, and assembling a product made out of plastic material or composites that contain plastic. There are numerous plastic fabrication methods known today, considering the wide variety of products made out of plastic...
Plastic Materials
Plastic materials are objects artificially made from organic compounds called polymers along with other additive components. They possess excellent formability, making them extremely versatile for many different fabrication and manufacturing processes...
