# Die Cutting

#### [![a close up of a 3-axis CNC machine](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/3%20Axis%20CNC%20.jpg) Die Cutting Versus CNC Routing In plastic part production, cutting, routing and shaping tools come in many forms. Die cutting and CNC routing are both methods for customizing plastic parts, but how do you know which one to utilize and when?](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/multiple-manufacturing-capabilities)

#### [![a series of gaskets](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/series-of-gaskets.jpg) Best Materials to Use for Die-Cut Gaskets Gaskets are an unsung hero of manufacturing. They don’t push the envelope, they don’t break new barriers, but they do one thing really, really well: keep the entire machine, product or part working as intended. For these heroes, choosing the right material is the source of their power. Not all ...](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/best-materials-to-use-for-die-cut-gaskets)

#### [![die cut silicone gaskets](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/die-cut-silicone-pieces-1536x749.jpg) Silicone Selection Guide for Gaskets and Seals Material selection for gasketing and sealing applications is crucial for ensuring protection, particularly under repeat compression and water exposure. Silicones can be a fantastic choice for these applications since they are resistant to temperatures and have a low compression set. This means two ...](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/silicone-selection-guide-for-gaskets-and-seals)

#### [![a pile of rubber gaskets and washers](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/AdobeStock_218484589.jpeg) What is a Kiss Cut? Kiss cutting is a key manufacturing operation. But what is it, and when do you use it?](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/what-is-a-kiss-cut)

#### [![a small plastic fabricated part](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/die-cutting-6lg-1.jpg) Which is Better for .187” HDPE Plastic: CNC or Die-Cutting? When designing large flat two-dimensional parts that still require high degrees of precision the first question after material selection you have to ask is: what is the best method for creating this part?](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/which-is-better-for-187-hdpe-plastic-cnc-or-die-cutting)

#### [![parts spread out](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/die-cutting-4lg-3.jpg) What’s the Best Method for Cutting Plastic? When choosing a production method for your plastic part, there are a lot of factors to consider. For parts that need to be cut, there are a number of methods to choose from. The two preferred methods of cutting plastic – precision die cutting and dieless knife-cutting (flash cutting) – are suitable ...](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/whats-the-best-method-for-die-cutting-plastic)

#### [![a spread of die-cut parts](https://industrialcustom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/die-cutting-4lg-3.jpg) How Steel Rule Dies Are Made to Order for Your Project Designs Among the many types of tooling options, die cutting is a fast and inexpensive one that can precisely cut large quantities of uniform materials. But deciding whether die cutting is the right option for your project’s needs requires a bit of know-how and research. If you’re not sure which tooling ...](https://industrialcustom.com/blogs/how-steel-rule-dies-are-made)
