the foam process in brief
- → To make any foam the first requirement is a 3D model of the component. From the model a tool will be constructed and the foam can be moulded. Various foam densities are available mostly from 01.g/cc up to 0.4g/cc. For inserted foams we will generally make the insert part ourselves and typically this will be 6061 T6 Aluminium with anodised ifinish.Colour can be specified as RAL or Pantone.

foam TYPES
→ Semi rigid flexible foam – A reasonably firm, flexible foam which can be used in varying density for insulation, trim, seating and armrests.
→ Integral skin foams – This foamhas a full continuous
skin around it sealing off theopen cell foam structure.
→ Rigid foams – These have a higher density and can
have some structural properties. Uses include
insulation, cavity filling and noise reduction.
→ Over-moulded foams – Foam is moulded around a component to increase mechanical stability.
tooling
All our tools are made from Aluminium. The moulds are 3D modelled to qualify the design, CNC machined and then finished to provide the required texture. The moulds are relatively inexpensive and highly durable.
applications
Foams are principally used for insulation, soundproofing, impact absorption, filling and support. Goudsmit UK operates in a range of industries which include furniture, medical aides, plumbing insulation, high performance insulation and automotive industries.
