Foam-Karve
is an efficient method of manufacturing cushions tailor-made to the individual.
Depending
on the support level required, different combinations of foams can be used.
An impression is obtained by using bead casting bags; from this the system can
be fully carved, on-site (from our mobile unit) and then trial fitted. Only
by using our mobile service can so much be achieved in such a short time. From
here, the cushions are returned to us at Delichon for completion, and a delivery
appointment can follow shortly afterwards.
Foam-Karve can be interfaced into a wide range of wheelbases, e.g. Shadow, Netti, Storm, Discovery, Quickie, Harrier, Apollo, Gillingham Tilt, Snug Seat, Foldaway, and even specialised office chairs. Whatever is required, we try to accommodate the individual's needs, by making either a full seating system, or just a back or a base cushion.
The Foam-Karve system is so versatile we even make cushions for racing cars, such as this Pilbeam MP58 hillclimb car (to bring you up to speed, this has power equivalent to that of an F1 racer). Two drivers share the car and a back cushion has been made for each, and yes - they have survived some 'unofficial' crash testing!

The
Foam-Karve Machine
The new design of carving machine has 5-axis capabilities, allowing carving
of undercuts and overhangs on all sides of a foam block. This gives accurate
contouring even from complex shapes while maintaining high standards of repeatability
and surface finish. A wide range of open- and closed-cell foams can be used
to give a choice of support surface properties.
The Foam-Karve machining system is easily transportable to provide on-site carving anywhere in the UK, allowing seats to progress from cast to trial fit stage in a single visit. This is convenient for the patient, and saves time for the professionals involved.
