The Cheesehead Visor

July 7, 2017

Engman Taylor in partnership with Foamation (makers of the world-famous Cheesehead hat) designed and created the cheesehead visor or otherwise known as the “Chisor” for the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. This product was uniquely designed and produced, using additive manufacturing technology. Foamation had the concept and contracted Engman-Taylor to do the design work and 3D modeling. This model was then printed on the Markforged printer using ONYX material providing a high-resolution incredibly strong prototype. 3D printed models reduce cost and turnaround time while adding flexibility and design capabilities never before possible.

This 3D positive model is then turned into a mold and is ready to create chisors using Foamation’s super-secret foam recipe. Just like the cheesehead hat, chisors give fans a chance to show their team spirit with a functional, durable, foam LPGA visor.

Foamation , known for their cheesehead hats offers dozens of other creative and cheesy products. They are masters at mold making and will make your foam idea a reality.
