PMI product architecture
PMI core as material, geometry, and composite process.
Select the PMI core around the finished structure: material form, anticipated geometry, manufacturing route, and the evidence required for a confident technical review.
Mold-foamed core
A source-catalogue pathway for integrated, complex foam-core geometries.
CNC machined core
Milling, routing, drilling, grooving, contouring, and custom 3D core forms.
Composite solutions
PMI core context for CFRP structures, curing routes, and component manufacture.
PMI foam core
A structural core made for the composite conversation.
Frame the PMI core around the decisions that define the finished part: core form, process route, geometry, and the intended sandwich structure. The technical review begins with the component, not a generic material claim.

Engineering field notes
Useful answers begin with the questions that change the part.
The content library is built around the decisions that repeatedly shape PMI core projects: how the sandwich is constructed, which geometry is controlled by CAD, what process follows core preparation, where documentation is needed, and what should be included before a quotation is requested.
Related questions
Start with the question that changes the engineering path.
These questions link the homepage to deeper technical pages. They are designed to help a design, sourcing or manufacturing team move from a broad PMI search to a structured project brief.
01How do I select a PMI foam core for a sandwich structure?
Begin with the component, skins, intended geometry, process and the documentation required for the proposed grade.
02When should a PMI core be CNC machined?
Use a drawing-led review when contours, channels, holes, pockets, interfaces or other controlled features connect the core to the composite component.
03What should a radome or antenna core brief include?
Bring the geometry, construction, manufacturing context and RF-data request into one documented project review.
04Where can I request grade-specific PMI foam information?
Request the technical document against the actual component and process; generic web values should not replace applicable grade data.
05How should a PMI vs PVC comparison be framed?
Compare the project’s grade documentation, process, geometry and commercial context rather than relying on a generic winner claim.
RFQ
Technical action surface
Send a drawing. Start with the material.
Start a focused discussion with PMI core type, intended component, composite process, and available drawing format.
Material and process gallery
Real PMI forms, process context and dispatch evidence—at a glance.
Use the gallery to move from a visible PMI form or manufacturing question to the corresponding product, CNC, application, quality or RFQ pathway. Every image is representative project context; it does not replace a confirmed project specification.
Production field records
From flat stock to prepared PMI core: real process evidence.
These field photographs document representative CNC preparation and finished-core handling. They support a drawing-led discussion of geometry, feature sequence, packing needs and the handoff to the next composite operation; they do not replace a project-specific inspection or acceptance plan.
Each image is presented as project context, with the scope of material data, geometry, inspection and commercial commitments kept separate until they are confirmed for the actual order.
