Die Cutting Capabilities




   Die Cutting Method       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Laser Cutting
 
     Laser, or laser die cutting is performed on computer controlled, 3-axis laser cutting machines.  Laser cutters can be used to cut materials that cannot be cut using conventional steel rule die cutting, such as steel to over .500".  Laser cutters are available in flat and rotary configurations.  Flat laser cutters are used to cut flat sheets of material and rotary laser cutters cut material from roll stock.
 
   Rotary Die Cutting
 
     Rotary die cutters cut and score soft to semi-rigid material by forcing it between the blades on a cylindrical die and a hard cylindrical anvil.  Rotary die cutters are primarily used to cut material from a web (continuous roll), although they can be used to cut material in sheet form.
 
   Steel Rule Die Cutting
 
     Steel rule die cutters score and cut material into various shapes, as determined by the steel dies.  Examples of products that are die cut are flat gaskets, puzzle pieces, and a presentation folder that has a pocket (the pocket is scored, folded and glued).  Steel rule die cutters can cut sheet material or material from roll stock.
 
   Ultrasonic Die Cutting
 
     Ultrasonic die cutters use vibrations applied at ultrasonic frequencies to cut or seal a material.  The vibrations cause heat and pressure to be generated, which causes sealing of thermoplastic materials and cutting, depending on the blade configuration. 
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted die cutting capabilities.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Materials       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Electrical Insulating Material
 
     Any of a variety of materials, such as mica and phenolic paper laminates, having good electrical insulating properties.  These materials are used in a variety of electrical applications.
 
   EMI/RFI Shielded Foil / Laminate
 
     Foils and laminate materials to shield against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
 
   Fabric
 
     A material resembling cloth that is usually made by weaving or knitting natural or synthetic fibers and filaments.
 
   Felt
 
     Felt is a cloth made of wool and fur often mixed with natural or synthetic fibers through the action of heat, moisture, chemicals, and pressure.
 
   Fiber / Cork / Paper
 
     Any paper, cork or other fibrous material.
 
   Foam / Sponge
 
     Any of various lightweight, porous, semi-rigid or spongy materials.
 
   Laminate
 
     Laminates are created by layering different materials and bonding them together by adhesives, pressure and/or heat.
 
   Metals / Alloys
 
     Supplier can die cut any of a variety of metal or alloy materials.

A metal is any of a class of substances having high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light.

An alloy is a substance with metallic properties that is made up of two or more chemical elements, at least one of which is a metal.
 
   Plastics
 
     Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
 
   PVC
 
     Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex).
 
   Rubber
 
     Natural or synthetic high polymers characterized by their elasticity, high abrasion resistance, and fluid and chemical resistance.  Natural rubber includes gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex, and synthetic rubber includes many grades such as Norprene®, neoprene, and silicone.
 
   Composites
 
     A solid material comprised of two or more substances that have distinct properties. When merged, each substance retains its own characteristics while imparting the entire composition with beneficial properties. For example, a plastic material in which a fibrous framework is embedded for greater structural stability.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted material.
