In on-site assignments, whether at the customer's premises or on the construction site, it is essential to always have the right tools to hand. Efficiency and productivity often depend on how well tools are organized and protected. The ideal tool case with foam insert protects the tools during transport, enables a quick completeness check and ensures that the required tool is always quickly to hand.
This is exactly where our individual, bespoke foam tool inserts come into play. Our tool cases with foam inserts not only offer maximum protection, but also an optimized arrangement of tools that makes your everyday work much easier. But how do you go from a disorganized tool inventory to a perfectly equipped case?
In this blog post, we would like to give you a look behind the scenes and show you in five steps how you can turn your tools into a perfectly organized system with Novapor.
Step 1
Scanning the tools with our Novapor 3D scanner
The first step on the way to a perfectly equipped tool case with foam insert begins with the precise scanning of the tools. We always plan from the inside out. Only when we can accurately estimate the size and quantity of the parts can we then determine the size of the foam and the case. To do this, we use the state-of-the-art Novapor 3D scanner, which digitizes each tool with millimeter precision.
The advantage of this technology is obvious: an exact digital image of each tool is created, regardless of whether it is a wrench, pliers or special precision tools. Even irregularly shaped tools can be precisely scanned.
This step is crucial because accurate recording of the tools forms the basis for the later, precisely fitting foam insert. Only high-quality scanning ensures that each tool is optimally integrated into the case and that no unnecessary gaps arise that could waste space or damage the tool during transport.
Step 2
Planning and arrangement of tools in our 2D or 3D drawing program
As soon as the tools have been digitally recorded, the actual planning phase begins. This is where our powerful 2D and 3D drawing program comes into play. In close cooperation with our customers, we develop the ideal layout for the tool case.
It's not just about how all the tools fit in the case, but also about how to provide the best access. Tools that are used frequently should be easily accessible, while tools that are used less frequently should be placed further back or at the bottom.
We also adapt the layout to the specific requirements of your work. Do you need a quick overview of the contents of the case? Then we integrate a structure that allows you to check that everything is complete at a glance. Do you have particularly sensitive tools? Then we plan additional protection with foam padding. The flexibility of our planning program allows us to respond to individual wishes and needs. You always have the opportunity to express requests for changes, which we will incorporate into the planning.
Choosing the right suitcase
Once the space and requirements are determined, the selection of the right case begins. Here, too, you have a variety of options. We work exclusively with well-known manufacturers who are known for their robust and durable cases. Our tool cases with foam inserts not only offer optimal protection against external influences such as dust, moisture or extreme temperatures, but are also available in various sizes and designs. This means we can find the right case for every tool set.
Depending on the application, you can choose between different case models. Should the case be particularly light and compact? Or do you need a model with wheels to be able to transport heavy tools easily? The interior of the case can also be customized - from additional compartments for small parts to special holders for electronic devices.
Choosing the right foams
We will work with you to select the right foam for your foam insert. We offer a wide range of polyethylene foams that vary in color and density. Different foam densities offer different levels of protection, depending on the sensitivity of the tool and the requirements of the application.
You can choose between different colors, for example to color-code certain tools and thus further increase clarity. It is also possible to use multi-layer foam inserts that have different colors. This allows you to see any missing parts at a glance if a tool is not in its place.
Step 3
Cutting the foam inserts
One of the core elements of our organization system is the foam insert. This is specially tailored for your tools and offers optimal protection and stability. We only work with high-quality Polyethylene (PE) foams, which are characterized by their durability and protective effect.
Precise cutting for a perfect fit
As soon as the right foam is selected, the precise cutting process begins. Our state-of-the-art CNC cutting machines ensure that every tool shape is precisely incorporated into the foam. This creates a precisely fitting insert in which every tool sits securely and firmly. This not only prevents slipping during transport, but also protects the tools from impacts and damage.

Step 4
Fitting foam inserts and completing the transport case
After the foam inserts have been cut to size, they are assembled. The inserts are inserted into the desired tool case and adjusted precisely. We make sure that everything fits perfectly and that there are no gaps that could impair protection or handling.
Step 5
Checking and inserting the tools - ready for use!
In the last step, the case is thoroughly checked again. We check whether all the tools are securely in their compartments and whether the foam inserts are perfectly aligned with the tools. Only when everything fits is the final touches made: the tools are placed in the prepared compartments and your individual tool case is ready.
After this final check, your tool case is ready for use. You now have a system that not only creates order, but also makes transport easier and protects your tools optimally. Thanks to the custom-made foam inserts, you can be sure that everything has its place and you always have a complete overview of your tools.
