Most automated finishing devices, whether routers or cutters or even laser power machinery, is equipped with proprietary software. To fully deliver on the process of automation, it is integral that the hardware is backed by intelligent software solutions.
Automating the print process involves evaluating the tools on the finishing end. Manufacturers benefit from complementing digital printers with automated routers and cutters. To further streamline processes, it’s cost effective to take advantage of the software solutions available with these finishing devices...
Ink sets used in thermoforming applications are specifically created for this process. They must withstand extreme heat, offer high elasticity, in addition to other characteristics. Here we share some of the products designed for digital printing and thermoforming.
Manufacturers require durable labels in most aspects of their business, whether it be for goods they produce or an object in their own facility. Used in industrial settings and on heavy-duty consumer products, durable labels are exposed to chemicals, liquids, and extreme temperatures.
Digital printing, whether it is for décor, apparel, or signage, is an attractive solution for textiles. Dye-sublimation (dye-sub), digital dye-sub, transfer dye-sub, and direct digital printing are all methods for printing to fabrics.
Manufacturing equipment is rarely turnkey. From concept through production and decoration, items require unique steps to compose a final product. Therefore, when it comes to printing, bespoke solutions are often commissioned to ensure production success. UV LED curing systems are frequently customized to support specific manufacturing goals.
The Kawasaki Motor Corp.’s Lincoln, NE facility is the central production plant for the U.S. Out of the 2.1 million square foot space, over 2,400 plant workers—including 75 engineers—are involved in projects ranging from Kawasaki recreational vehicles and other transportation solutions to cargo doors for Boeing 777X aircrafts.
As three-dimensional (3D) printing advances, it is adopted for manufacturing products and parts. The use cases for this technology are endless, and creative brands utilize it to reinvent industries and get an edge over competition.
Laser cutters are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and capabilities. A non-contact process, most laser devices use heat to create incisions and leave the material unharmed with precise engraving or cutting scores. Manufacturers take advantage of today’s advanced...
Thermoforming is a process used by manufacturers to create anything from signage to automotive parts. Traditionally, a piece that involved a decorative graphic or color was either hand painted or screenprinted. However, there are digital ink sets optimized for printing to materials that will eventually undergo the thermoforming process.
