OSAAP

Real Time Shadow Board Design

Welcome to OSAAP America 

OSAAP America is a Joint Venture with OSAAP, Gmbh of Germany. Utilizing OSAAP’s unique CAD/CAM processes for Shadow Board and Foam inlay design and manufacturing, the core of their marketing strategy is to give the customer the power to do real-time shadow board design by providing free CAD software. Simply take an image of the products you need Shadow Board control over, upload the image into their free CAD software and design your board. Once the layout is complete, OSAAP America provides access to their jobs database where you can see all your past and present projects and track their progress in realtime. The CAM side of the Shadow Board manufacturing process is also automated, lowering their costs, resulting in no setup fee, even if you only order a single Shadow Board.
