Pre-Lamination Tooling Packages
Evans Midwest pre-lamination tooling packages are designed to support accurate, repeatable preparation of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) cores prior to lamination. These in-plant tools allow manufacturers to efficiently cut electrical chases, edge recesses, and profiles—ensuring consistent panel assembly and high-quality finished SIPs.
Pre-lamination tooling plays a critical role in panel fit-up, electrical routing, and overall production efficiency before skins are applied.
Our SIP Pre-Lamination Tools
Evans Midwest offers a complete range of EPS cutting tools and templates designed specifically for SIP manufacturing environments. Each tool is engineered to provide precise foam removal while maintaining dimensional accuracy and repeatability across production runs.

Built for Accurate EPS Core Preparation
Evans Midwest pre-lamination tooling packages are designed to support both low-volume and high-production SIP manufacturing operations. Whether used as a dedicated EPS preparation station or integrated into a larger laminating workflow, these tools help streamline pre-lamination processes while maintaining consistent core quality.
Tooling packages can be configured based on panel size, EPS density, electrical requirements, and production volume—providing manufacturers with a scalable solution that supports current needs and future growth.
