Die cutting machines come in a variety of different shapes and styles, for obvious reasons: to handle different materials and production workloads. While there are many different kinds of die cutting machines, the core functionality of them is the same. Today, we are going to focus on helping you to get the most out of your die cutting experience. We're going to highlight several different ways that you can maximise the precision and quality of your die cutting efforts.
Tips for Die Cutting Success
Die cutting machines can handle just about any material that you can think of. From paper and cork to leather and metal, your die cutting machine can be the creative tool that you need in order to design the product of your dreams. Unfortunately, die cutting machines can run into issues and these issues can go a long way toward damaging the output of your design, thus ruining all of your hard work. Fortunately for you, there are ways to ensure that your die cutting experience is a good one. Our goal today will be to showcase how you can make your die cuts precise, accurate and of high quality. Let's begin.
- Utilise Double Cutting - If you are using an electronic die cutting machine, you should have the option to perform what is known as a 'double cut'. A double cut is exactly what it sounds like as the machine will go over the cut twice, thus leaving you with a cleaner and more successful incision.
- Maintain Your Die - The most consistent cause of an imprecise die cutting experience is that of a worn. The die in your machine can wear out over time with repeated use. Make sure to replace your die when you notice that it is beginning to dull. The type of material that you are cutting can impact how quickly the die itself actually begins to fail.
- Die Cutting Position - If you move your die toward the outer edge of your cutting plate, you'll be able to reduce the amount of pressure being used during the process. By reducing the pressure you can extend the length of your die while improving the quality of your cut.
Die cutting is an excellent way to produce a wide variety of different products, ranging all across every major industry. At Triforme, we can help you find the die cutting machine to make your next project a success.
