Many components or subassemblies will frequently need to be packaged in a single enclosure. A foam pack may consist of several layers of foam shapes and trays designed to isolate each component. When cost is an issue, standard foams work well and are easy to fabricate. If appearance and durability or cleanliness are more important, specialty foams can be used because they last longer, have better performance, and have a better look and feel. The foam pack can also be designed to protect different products or models having some similar dimensions with the use of perforations, removable inserts ..read more

Manufacturing Plywood Boards: Then and Now Plywood is arguably the most underrated material. Consider the countless applications it is used in, ranging from recreational skateboards to industrial crating. Simply put, plywood is made by adhering thin sheets of wood together. These sheets are called veneer or plies. The process was vastly improved in the 1800’s with the creation of the Veneer Rotary Cutting Machine. The steam powered machine was capable of manufacturing longer and wider veneer sheets, all the while minimizing waste. It’s invention allowed for increased efficiency and lower cos ..read more
