| Step 1: Design the component on the CAD System |
This can be performed in a number of ways:
- Manually inputting the dimensions into the CAD system
- Existing templates can be scanned using Exact Technology's MasterTrace
- Profile Capturing System
- A0 digitising tablet
- Desk top scanner
|
| Step 2: Send the design to the cutting machine |
- The cutting machine is capable of processing a range of materials at high speed.
- The automated cutter eliminates many restraints associated with conventional methods of cutting such as producing expensive hard tooling , such as cutting dies, and the time consuming process of cutting by hand.
- Samples/prototypes can be manufactured quickly and accurately with repeatability assured every time.
|
| Step 3: Finished components produced in minutes |
- Design modifications can be incorporated with instantaneous results
- Production costs and delivery times significantly reduced
- Overall production time reduced - cut samples produced in minutes rather than hours as found with hand cutting
