Your gear, accounted for.
Every time you open the case.
Profoama produces precision-cut shadow foam inserts made exactly for what you own — photographed, segmented, and shipped to your door.
No account needed to begin — just a photo of your case.
Precision-cut foam over a colored base layer. Empty slots show the base color — a clear signal something is missing.
Two layers. One signal.
Shadow foam is a two-layer system: a solid base foam in one color, with a precision-cut top layer in a contrasting color. Each cutout traces the exact perimeter of an object.
When every tool, lens, or instrument is seated, the insert reads as a uniform surface. When something is missing, the base color shows through — immediately, unmistakably.
Used by field technicians, armorers, surgical teams, and photographers who need to know — at a glance — that nothing has been left behind.
From photo to finished insert
Photograph your case
Open your case or drawer on a flat surface. Drop a US quarter into each of the 4 inside corners, flat and snug against the walls — these are your scale references. Shoot straight down from directly above, as far back as your space allows.
Tap your quarters
In the app, tap each corner quarter to detect it. Profoama traces the drawer edges from the coins, measures exact dimensions, and corrects for camera angle automatically — no corner tapping or manual measuring.
AI segments your objects
The AI identifies each item in the case and generates its exact perimeter. Review the segments and adjust any that need refinement.
Approve your layout
Drag and drop objects to arrange them in the foam space. When the layout is right, approve it. Your design is locked.
We cut and ship
Profoama produces your insert — precision-cut black cut foam over a colored base foam. Every slot reveals the base color when empty, giving you instant visual inventory.

Interior dimensions in inches — measure the usable foam area.
The photo determines the accuracy of your insert
Profoama measures your objects from a single photograph. Perspective, lighting, and placement of the scale markers all affect the result. Take two minutes to get this right.
Shoot straight down — directly overhead, as far back as space allows
Quarters fully flat and against the inside case or drawer corners — not overlapping the case edge or obscured by objects
Even, diffused lighting — no harsh shadows crossing the interior
All objects fully inside the case boundary
At least 8mm (~5/16 in) of gap between objects — tight clusters are harder to segment and cut cleanly
Shooting at an angle — foreshortens objects and skews dimensions
Quarters obscured, tilted, not pushed into the corners, or partially outside the frame
Harsh single-source light casting deep shadows across tools
Objects overlapping the case edge or each other
Gear that deserves to be accounted for
XLPE — chosen for a reason
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a closed-cell foam used in aviation tooling, military equipment cases, and medical instrument trays. It doesn't compress permanently, doesn't absorb water, and holds its shape after years of daily use.
Resilient with a smooth, pleasant feel
Good thermal insulator
Excellent strength and shock absorption
Low water absorption
Impervious to mildew, mold, rot, and bacteria
Excellent chemical resistance
Nontoxic — contains no CFCs, HCFCs, or hydrocarbon blowing agents
Veteran owned and operated
Profoama was founded by a U.S. Air Force aircraft mechanic and pilot. Years of working in environments where a missing tool is never acceptable — where every item has a place and every absence must be immediately visible — is the direct origin of this product. We understand Foreign Object Damage threats and want to help you ensure FOD prevention program compliance.
We're a small, early-stage startup currently in beta. Orders are personally reviewed and fulfilled. If you have questions, volume needs, or want to get in touch before the full public launch, reach out at [email protected].
