Flash Cutting

Need to crush your speed-to-market objectives with gaskets, seals, and other flexible fabricated components? Flash cutting (also called dieless knife cutting) is your solution.

Think fast when you think flash cutting. Flash cutting gets you the part you need now so you can bring it to market tomorrow.

What about tooling? Forget it when you decide on flash cutting. No tooling is required, so don’t worry about the traditional time and cost of tooling. (Some traditions are worth dropping!)

Why Choose Flash Cutting Over Traditional Die Cutting?

Choose flash cutting and you’ll do less waiting and more prototyping.

State-of-the-art mechanics and electronics drive our three flash cutting tables, with our largest table size of 60” x 160”. Our machines—sometimes so fast and efficient it’s uncanny—maximize the utilization of whatever material they’re cutting so less goes to waste. And starting production is easy: our operator can load CAD programs and patterns to the flash cutting table and begin immediate production, right then and there.

Benefits of Flash Cutting:

• Reduce the time to bring a new product to market with faster turnaround time to test fit and function
• Decrease the cost of new product development by saving time and tooling budget. 
• Reduce your costs by decreasing the time required for quality inspections (with our history of award-winning quality)
• Reduce the parts inventory you hold for final production runs (with our history of on-time delivery)
