Digital Die Cutting:

Also known as tangential-knife plotting, this is one of the most versatile technologies we offer. Our Zund L3000cv plotter features conveyor feed and a 5'x12' cutting table, while our Mimaki CG-60 excels for smaller-scale work. Digital cutting rises beyond traditional die cutting in several ways. It requires only a vector file to cut your parts; there is no expensive tooling to be made. Elaborate, precise kiss cuts can be repeatably produced and setup times are minimal, keeping your costs low for smaller runs.

One very important feature offered by our Zund is camera registration. A camera mounted on the cutting head can see printed alignment marks, allowing us to insure perfect registration of cuts on printed signs, decals, graphic overlays, and labels. 

Our cutting plotters are very precise. They are comparable to a CNC machining center in accuracy and repeatability. Flexible, dynamic, and economical, they can cut an astonishing variety of substrates, including thin Lexan, rubber/neoprene, cardboards, foam-core, gator-board, and more. Our belt fed plotter can also cut parts longer than its bed by cutting and advancing sequentially.

For large runs, we have standing partnerships with local die-cutters specializing in various substrates. Often, high-volume parts may be prototyped and pilot-run on the plotters, before being seamlessly transfered to die-cutting.
