What is digital cutting?
With the advent of computer-aided manufacturing, a new type of digital cutting technology has been developed that combines most of the benefits of die cutting with the flexibility of computer-controlled precision cutting of highly customizable shapes. Unlike die cutting, which uses a physical die of a specific shape, digital cutting uses a cutting tool (which can be a static or oscillating blade or mill) that follows a computer-programmed path to cut out the desired shape.
A digital cutting machine consists of a flat table area and a set of cutting, milling, and scoring tools mounted on a positioning arm that moves the cutting tool in two dimensions. The sheet is placed on the table surface and the tool follows a programmed path through the sheet to cut the preprogrammed shape.
Cutting is a versatile process used to shape materials such as rubber, textiles, foam, paper, plastics, composites, and foil by trimming, forming, and shearing. IECHO provides professional products and technical services to more than 10 industries including Composite materials, Printing and packaging, Textile and garment, Automotive interior, Advertising and printing, Office automation, and Luggage.
Applications of LCKS Digital Leather Furniture Cutting Solution
Digital cutting enables large-format custom cutting
The biggest advantage of digital cutting is the absence of shape-specific dies, ensuring shorter turnaround times compared to die-cutting machines, as there is no need to switch between die-shapes, thus reducing overall production time. In addition, there are no costs associated with the manufacture and use of dies, making the process more cost-effective. Digital cutting is particularly suited for large format cutting jobs and rapid prototyping applications.
Computer-controlled digital flatbed or conveyor cutters can easily integrate registration mark detection on the sheet with on-the-fly control of the cut shape, making digital cutting machines very attractive for highly customizable automated manufacturing processes.
The growing popularity of digital cutting machines has led manufacturers to offer a wide range of digital cutting solutions on the market, from large industrial machines that can handle several square meters of sheets to hobby-level cutters for home use.

Uses and benefits of laser cutting
A particular type of digital cutting technology that has become popular in recent years is laser cutting. The process is very similar to digital cutting except that a focused laser beam is used as the cutting tool (rather than a blade). The use of a powerful and tightly focused laser (focal spot diameter less than 0.5 mm) results in rapid heating, melting, and evaporation of the material.
As a result, ultra-precise, non-contact cutting can be achieved in a fast turnaround time. Finished parts benefit from very sharp and clean edges, minimizing the post-processing required to cut the shape. Laser cutting excels when processing durable, high-strength materials such as steel and ceramics. Industrial laser cutting machines equipped with high-power lasers can cut centimeter-thick sheet metal faster than any other mechanical cutting method. However, laser cutting is not well suited for cutting heat-sensitive or flammable materials, such as thermoplastics.
Some leading digital cutting equipment manufacturers combine mechanical and laser digital cutting in a single system so that the end-user can benefit from the advantages of both methods.
