3D thermoformed
foam core kits

When your client demands the best

Curve Works offers the world’s first 3D thermoformed foam core kits – our 3D Core Kitâ„¢.

We have replaced traditional core laying methods with a brand new approach: we provide curved structural core kits, with low-to-no springback, enabling a much faster, and therefore much lower cost of, installation.

We do this using our fully automated adaptive moulds and unique infrastructure to create all the shapes needed for your build.
