Trust the process

Foam Milling

Protofoams key strength lies in CNC Milling open celled foam for seating and soft trim. This process is ideal for early stage prototypes, concepts and show seat configurations and benefits from very short lead times of days rather than weeks. We can take Free Issue OEM Foam blocks or supply a range of suitable density foams to mill to the customers design. If required we can integrate wire frames, apertures, EPP Inserts, trim wires / clips and velcro strips if needed. We can produce every standard seat product such as Headrests, Cushions, Backs and Armrests to more diverse requirements including soft trimmed consoles, lids & panels all based on 3D CAD data provided by the customer. Completed parts can be provided with a dimensional report and a C of C.

Foam & Trim

The Protofoam team has been supplying prototype and low volume production foam seats for Tier 1 & 2 & Design Consultants over the years with the knowledge this is only part of the construction of a complete seat. We have the advantage of sourcing seat trim development to accompany our foams with a trusted leader in their field. With the expertise of Prototrim, programs can be controlled in a much more sustainable manner benefiting the customer with demanding lead-times. Working closely together we can eliminate any potential problems before designs go into production.
