What are the differences and advantages between laser die cutting and mechanical die cutting?

The principle of laser die-cutting (also known as digital die-cutting) is to use a laser beam to evaporate and cut on the surface according to the path of the product graphics. The edge of the material has evaporated, so there is no need for manual processing such as grinding and smoothing, which saves a lot of time. Due to the development of laser die-cutting technology, more complex die-cutting processes have been significantly improved. The current laser die-cutting processing system has a better cost-effectiveness than the previous traditional mode. When applying higher-end products, the laser die-cutting system can be more widely used in more materials, the error control is more strict and cautious, and the complex and messy processing technology becomes very stable and fast.

Back to the topic: What are the differences and advantages between laser die cutting and die mechanical die cutting?

First of all, laser cutting dies can process any vector graphics, removing the construction cost of the die, including cost and money. Just enter the graphics into the operating software, and the processing of the original file can be completed in a few minutes, and there is no subsequent processing step. Die cutting dies need to build dies, and they will come into contact with the material when cutting, causing certain limitations.

Second: Laser cutting molds have quite obvious advantages, and can perfectly handle special processing such as punching, dotting lines, creases, and continuous numbering, which is impossible for die cutting.

Third: Compared with some orders that are more competent for long-term processing of mechanical molds, the cost of laser molds is relatively low. If the live parts are geometric shapes that are prone to mold, if the material is not very thin or sticky, or wear-resistant, or has no adverse effects, especially compared with long-term live parts, the cost of molds and mold cutting can be ignored. Mold molds (flatbed printers, round-to-round mold cutting, hot stamping gap photoelectric control technology) often do better.
