DFM for rotary die cutting
Application Discovery & Engineering Review
Application discovery sessions document substrates, liners, adhesives, and press data so the engineering review for solid and flexible dies starts with facts, not guesswork.
Our engineering-first team benchmarks the entire material stack—substrates, liners, adhesive calipers, cure states, and target speeds—before quoting. That DFM for rotary die cutting approach prevents surprises once the die hits the press.
Engineers model relief pockets, bearer loads, slug removal, and shim recommendations to determine whether a solid or flexible tool best matches the run length. We also capture gear data, anvil specs, and registration notes for faster changeovers.
- Material and liner characterization with documented calipers
- CAD/CAM review of dielines, kiss-cut depths, and tolerances
- Recommendations covering solid vs flexible dies and support tooling
