With our superior radio frequency (RF) welding services, APPF Inc. custom fabricates large area maintenance shelter (LAMS) tension building panels, made from 23 oz. triple laminate PVC, for clients in the military & private industry. We begin each project with a customer-supplied print and a 2D auto CAD drawing. Using our clients CAD engineering drawings, we develop a manufacturing process by dividing up the job into a series of Sewing and RF Welding operations along with the design of tooling and fixtures. Once tooling and fixtures are created and validated the process engineering phase is complete, leading to full scale production.
