Designing custom foam for a protective case just became a little easier. At MyCaseBuilder, we are always looking for ways to make designing custom case foam faster, easier and more enjoyable. That is why we have introduced Smart Build, a new intelligent feature that helps you spot potential problems while designing your custom foam insert.

When creating a new case foam design, even a small detail can sometimes cause an issue during production. A shape might be too close to another part of the design, a cavity may not have enough space around it, or a combination of shapes may not work exactly as intended. Smart Build is designed to help you identify these potential complications before your foam goes into production.

A smarter way to design custom foam

With Smart Build, you can get helpful feedback while working on your design. Instead of discovering a potential problem later in the process, the system can help you recognize it while you are still designing.

This makes creating a custom foam insert much more straightforward, especially when you are working with more detailed layouts or several different pieces of equipment.

Whether you are designing foam for camera equipment, tools, electronics, drones or other valuable equipment, Smart Build gives you an extra helping hand during the design process.

More control, fewer surprises

One of the biggest advantages of Smart Build is that it gives you more confidence in your design. You can experiment with different shapes and layouts while the system helps you identify areas that may need some attention.

And of course, Smart Build is not the only improvement we have made to our foam design software.

We have also added several other tools to make designing custom case foam easier and more precise.

Smoother curves

Creating curved shapes is now easier than ever. Simply click on a point between two existing points and convert it into a smooth curve.

This gives you more freedom when creating custom shapes around equipment that does not have straight edges. It is especially useful when designing foam cavities for cameras, lenses, tools and other products with rounded or irregular shapes.

Auto Snap Shapes

Getting shapes perfectly aligned can take some time when designing custom foam. With the new Auto Snap Shapes function, you can align shapes more easily and keep your design looking clean and organized.

It is a small feature, but it can make a big difference when working on detailed custom foam inserts with multiple cavities.

Design your custom case foam

Our goal is simple. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to design professional custom foam for your case.

With Smart Build and our other new design tools, you have more control over your foam layout and can create detailed designs with less effort.

So whether you are protecting camera gear, drones, tools, electronics or any other valuable equipment, give the new features a try and start designing your professional custom case foam today.
