Protecting your assets.
We are an equipment packaging company that specializes in creating solutions that protect and enhance your valuable equipment.
We are an equipment packaging company that specializes in creating solutions that protect and enhance your valuable equipment.
We offer a full range of foam fabrication, case hardware fabrication, and case marking services.
We can engineer and manufacture a foam solution for any type of application. From one-off custom CNC waterjet cut case inserts all the way up to high volume die-cut packaging solutions such as foam end caps or padding and everything in-between.
Our specialty is cases. We can design and fabricate any type of hardware for all case brands such as Pelican, SKB, Nanuk, Seahorse, etc. Whether you're mounting sensitive electronics inside of your case or modifying the case to fit your needs, we have you covered.
We can add custom branding, ID plates, shipping labels, or markings to your case or foam. Market your product with a custom branded case or foam insert with your company logo or keep track of parts or equipment cases with ID plates and part labels.
We've developed a unique process for quickly capturing distortion-free scans of objects of any size. No more relying on distorted images with skewed outlines of parts.
We have vast experience in waterjet cutting, CNC milling, and die pressing foams of all types.
We offer CNC waterjet cutting utilizing Flow waterjet machines. Waterjet cutting employs high-pressure water for precise cutting of foam materials, offering a versatile solution for intricate designs in applications like packaging, insulation, artistic, and cosplay projects. This technology ensures accuracy and is the choice for low to medium volume projects with virtually no limitations on cut geometry.
Tolerances:
+/- 0.1 mm (+/- 0.004 inches)
For larger volume projects we offer die press cutting which, utilizing a die press with metal blades in the form of the outline of the part, precisely cuts foam materials rapidly and efficiently via a stamping-type process, making it well-suited for high-volume applications such as foam end caps. Ideal for simple 2D designs, it finds diverse uses in single-use packaging as well as reusable packaging. Requires an upfront mold purchase.
Tolerances:
+/- 0.5 mm (+/- 0.02 inches)
Our CNC foam routing is commonly used to machine cross-linked polyethylene foam cutouts for tool organizing inserts on our large format CNC router. This process precisely shapes foam materials using vertical end mills. While versatile, this method is limited to the inner radii of the cutter. Routing is utilized for low to medium volume projects and is a popular choice for FOD inserts for the aerospace industry.

We utilize a Haas VF3 vertical mill and Solidworks CAM software, enabling us to manufacture a diverse range of custom bespoke parts for your projects using a wide selection of materials. With a work envelope of 40" x 20" x 25", we can efficiently produce parts of any size. Whether it's low-volume runs of custom case panels or high-volume production of stainless steel mounting hardware, the VF3 handles these tasks with ease.

We can precisicely produce foam of any thickness with our Fecken Kirfel skiving machine. Skiving involves removing layers from foam sheets to create the desired thicknesses. This technique is essential for producing customized foam components commonly used in our case foam inserts. Sheets are fed through a band saw-type machine which can accept full sized 96" wide foam sheets. This lets us to skive down to a thickness of 1/32".
Tolerances:
+/- 0.8 mm (1/32 inches)
Our 84" PMW foam convoluter allows us to convolute a variety of foams. Convoluting is a process that uses rollers and blades to create a distinctive wavy pattern on foam. This enhances the foam's flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of products like case top inserts, pads, acoustic panels, and general purpose foam inserts. This process gives the "egg crate" look that is commonly seen in packaging designs.

We work with a wide range of materials including both closed-cell and open-cell foams. Read more about our selection here:
MaterialsIt's all too common: delayed projects due to late shipments, incorrect parts, missed emails, or forgotten specifications. Companies are often built with a lack of forethought of their processes which leads to miscommunication, poor quality, and missed deadlines.
That's why we've built Paxiform from the ground up with this in mind. From our ERP system to our production data flow, every aspect of our business has been crafted to eliminate pain points and increase transparency.
No more getting lost in a huge businesses messy inbox or CRM system. All jobs at Paxiform receive the same commitment and you'll work directly with an engineer the entire time. No more missed deadlines. Ever.
