Applications

At OSAAP Technologies, we design and manufacture precision foam inlays, templates, and work-holding solutions that support advanced manufacturing and assembly processes across a diverse range of industries. Our applications span sectors where accuracy, efficiency, and reliability are not optional—they are essential.

Medical

In the medical field, safety, hygiene, and accountability are paramount. OSAAP’s foam inlays and custom layout solutions help medical manufacturers and service providers ensure that surgical instruments, diagnostic tools, and equipment are organized, traceable, and protected from damage.

  • Sterile Process Compliance: Our foam designs support instrument tracking and sterilization protocols.
  • Tool Control for OEMs and Labs: Customized inserts help maintain order in production and testing environments.
  • Visual Inventory Systems: Color-coded and shadowed foam improves identification and audit-readiness.

Aerospace

The aerospace industry demands the highest precision—both in component manufacturing and maintenance operations. OSAAP’s aerospace solutions support lean production and strict part accountability through custom CNC-machined foam inserts and work-holding layouts.

  • Flight-Critical Component Protection: Foam kits cradle delicate and complex parts during transport and assembly.
  • Assembly Line Efficiency: Shadow boards and templates enable fast, accurate part placements.
  • FOD Prevention: Designed to meet Foreign Object Debris compliance by keeping work areas tool- and part-organized..

Aviation

For both commercial and military aviation, maintaining tools and parts with precision is critical to safety and operations. OSAAP delivers customized tool control solutions that meet aviation standards and support efficient ground and aircrew readiness.

  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul): Kits and inlays reduce tool loss and speed up checks.
  • Compliance & Safety: Visual control systems ensure teams comply with strict FAA and DoD requirements.
  • Flight Line Deployability: Lightweight, rugged designs for mobile toolkits used on the tarmac or in the field.

Automotive

In fast-paced automotive manufacturing, visual control and part presentation are key to throughput and error reduction. OSAAP’s solutions are tailored to support lean initiatives, poka-yoke assembly processes, and automated systems.

  • Precision Kitting: Foam inlays present parts in exact orientation for robotic and manual assembly.
  • Line Change Agility: Rapid reconfiguration of templates supports flexible production lines.
  • Visual Workflow Enhancement: Custom colors, engraving, and digital overlays improve operator understanding..

Kitting

Whether for production, field service, or inventory management, kitting helps consolidate components into ready-to-use, organized units. OSAAP specializes in engineering foam kits that are optimized for handling, protection, and visual control.

  • Custom Configurations: Layouts designed around specific processes, parts, or tools.
  • Integrated Labels & Engraving: Add part numbers, QR codes, or branding directly onto the foam.
  • Packaging Compatibility: Foam inserts sized for Pelican cases, drawer systems, or transport crates.

Title

How Long Does a Foam Shadow Board Last?

Our standard foam will last approximately three years in 24/7 production and much longer as the usage decreases.

The ESD material will last as long visually; however, it should be tested annually for static dissipation.

Can The Standard Foam Material Be Cleaned With Solvents Like Acetone?

Our material is closed cell cross-linked foam that does not absorb moisture. Many customers clean the material with solvents.

If you would prefer another method to clean your foam, our foam is nearly water-proof, and we have tested our foam in a standard, kitchen dishwasher numerous times.

What is the Melting & Flash Point of The Foam Material?

The flash and auto-flammability points of our foam is >300°C (>572°F).

The MSDS Safety and Information Sheets are attached below:

Can the Foam be Supplied With a Hard Back for Vertical Mounting or to Replace a Tray/Tote?

We can apply PVC backer board to the back of your foam board(s) to add rigidity to the foam. This is helpful for mounting foam board vertically or ensuring the foam lies flat and secure on a table.

We use black PVC for our backer board because, like the foam, it is not affected by moisture and can be easily cleaned.

Black PVC backer board is available in 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" thick.

Can OSAAP Foam Withstand Skydrol's Damaging Properties?

In short, the answer is yes, our foam can withstand the chemical properties of Skydrol. We currently have multiple customers that use our foam paired with Skydrol applications. Our foam is inert, blown-in Nitrogen, so it does not react except under very extreme conditions; the thermal limit of the foam is 500 degrees F. Skydrol leaves a thin film on the exterior of the foam. It does NOT dissolve the material.
