Plotter machines typically deploy a machinal knife to cut through the adhesive material. The direction of the mechanical knife is driven by the digital drawing of the shape / part provided. It is easier to experiment / customize the design to see an immediate result and at virtually no cost other than material and time.

In short, the product development costs / lead time is favorable. The run time is generally slower than rewind machines but the width restrictions of the rotary have a negative impact on the output.  This technology is particularly efficient for larger size shapes (30 cm and up).

You provide us with a digital drawing of the required shape along with additional requirements of tolerances, tape performance, material requirements and output format (rolls or sheets, with or without liner etc.).

There are different types of laser cutting processes that can be used for various applications. Some of the different types of laser cutting include: Kiss Cutting, Engraving, Perforating, Slitting, Through Cutting.

There are various materials that we can laser cut with pending the thickness of the material:

Polyester Plastic Foil Thin Metal

Silicone Polypropylene Abrasives Textiles

Fabric Paper Rubber
