Cutting Die A cutting die is a specialized tool used in various manufacturing and fabrication processes, including laser cutting, to shape or trim materials into specific shapes or designs. Cutting dies consist of a hardened steel or metal plate with sharp edges or contours that correspond to the desired cutout shape or pattern.
In laser cutting, the cutting die is placed onto the material surface, and the laser beam follows the contours of the die to precisely cut or engrave the material along the predefined paths. Cutting dies are commonly used in industries such as packaging, textiles, leatherworking, and paper manufacturing to produce consistent and accurate cuts in materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, and thin plastics. |
