Digital Knife Cutting Services
Digital knife cutting, or Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) cutting, uses a software-guided blade to cut heavy, flexible, and semi-rigid materials with exceptional precision. The multi-tool system offers various cutting capabilities. Because it’s guided by software, the machine can reproduce multiple designs from the same material in a single production run, using intelligent nesting to optimize material usage. This tool offers significant advantages in reducing waste and achieving high accuracy. Once you provide a CAD drawing of your design, we can initiate production quickly.
Benefits of digital knife cutting include:
- Improves throughput
- Eliminates cost and lead time of custom metal dies
- Delivers precise, repeatable results
- Enables fast setup with minimal downtime between production runs
- Enhances production flexibility
- Expanded design possibilities
- Accommodates last minute design changes
- Cuts multiple designs from the same material
Digital Knife-Cutting Tools
A CNC digital knife-cutting multi-tool head includes multiple cutting capabilities, including vibration, oblique, circular, punching and milling knives; punch rollers and marking pens.
Materials used for Digital Knife Cutting
Foams
Solid rubber
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape
Plastics
Common Applications for DIGITAL KNIFE CUTTING
The CNC Knife Cutter, equipped with a vacuum bed to secure materials and multiple blades to achieve precision, delivers the high-quality results your project demands.
Custom Gaskets
For applications requiring precise tolerances, digital knife cutting creates custom shapes from stock materials with exceptional accuracy and consistency.
Kiss Cutting
Ideal for easy-peel labels and gaskets, the kiss-cutting technique slices through the adhesive layer while leaving the liner intact, ensuring easy removal and application.
Rapid Prototyping
With no need for custom metal dies, production can start immediately upon receiving a CAD drawing, making digital knife cutting perfect for rapid prototyping.
Digital Nesting
For projects with multiple parts or complex shapes, digital knife cutting uses intelligent nesting software to optimize material usage and minimize waste.
