Which file types work best?
CAD files such as DXF, DWG or STEP give the most precise result for CNC cutting. A PDF drawing or a clear photo with measurements on graph paper also works for simpler shapes.
Which dimensions are essential?
Give the inner dimensions of the box or case the insert goes into, the outer dimensions and weight of each part, and the number of parts per insert. For irregular parts, the main contour seen from above is the most important view.
How much clearance should cavities have?
Cavities are normally cut slightly larger than the part so it can be placed and removed easily but cannot move. Mention whether a snug fit or easy removal matters more; we set the tolerance accordingly.
Should I plan finger cut-outs?
Yes, for parts that sit deep in the foam. Finger or thumb cut-outs beside a cavity make removal easy and prevent damage to the foam over repeated use.
What happens after I send the drawing?
FoamPackage reviews the drawing, recommends a foam type, density and thickness, and sends a quote. After approval a first sample is cut and tested with your parts before series production.
