Rotary & Flatbed Die Cutting
We use rotary and flatbed die cutting to press and mechanically cut features into films, foils, adhesives, and tapes. These processes create the layers and features used to build up microfluidic devices or other components. We have highly automated equipment that can quickly cut the materials with precision and repeatability. Our experts can help you leverage this technology and develop a product that can quickly be prototyped and scaled into high-throughput manufacturing.
Flatbed Die Cutting Applications
Flatbed die cutting uses a steel rule die to punch out parts by driving the die downward through the material. This method is well-suited for manufacturing products from a wide range of materials, including fabric, fiber, paper, plastic, metal, rubber, foam, foil, composites, and laminates. Advantages of this cutting method include:
- Suitable for larger and thicker materials
- Sharper, crisper cuts
- Minimal material deformation
- Vision registration
