Precision Cutting
What Is Precision Cutting?
Precision cutting uses advanced machinery – such as high-speed plotters or die cutters – to cut through materials & produce desired shapes and sizes. Many companies use precision cutting because it can convert flexible materials into custom sizes for specialized applications. Custom-cut materials reduce material waste, save on material costs, and enhance design versatility.
Precision Cutting Services and Capabilities
At TPC Converting, we can cut and convert any standard flexible materials into custom-sized solutions for your goods. These materials include cloth, film, tape, and foam. Here is an overview of our customized cutting services.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting does not involve specialized tools or dies, so it is a quick and cost-effective alternative to die cutting. This process can produce holes, slots, and diameters with tight tolerances. Laser cutting is primarily used to cut out precise shapes for tapes and adhesives, especially prototypes and samples.
CNC Cutting
CNC cutting also does not require dies or other tools. For this reason, CNC cutting is also called dieless knife cutting. This method can quickly and precisely create samples, prototypes, and other small batches of custom parts. CNC cutting uses a computer-operated knife to cut films, felt, tapes, and other packaging materials. A key benefit of this process is low material waste.
Rotary Die Cutting
Rotary die cutting is a unique type of die cutting that uses cylindrical dies on a rotary press to cut shapes, slits, and perforations out of the material. This method is very effective at producing many identical shapes at once, so it is best for large production runs.
Precision Cutting Industries and Applications
Many industries turn to precision cutting because of its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and low material waste. Below we highlight some of the industries that rely on precision cutting:
