Tecman collaboration with business partners   Laser cutting

Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to precisely cut through materials. This process is highly accurate and allows for intricate and complex shapes to be cut with minimal material waste.

  • Laser cutting is ideal for creating detailed and precise parts that require fine details or intricate designs
  • It can work with a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, woods, fabrics, and more
  • The non-contact nature of laser cutting ensures minimal mechanical stress on the material being cut, which is crucial for delicate or fragile materials
  • Well-suited for creating prototypes that accurately represent the final product's dimensions and features.

 

Tecman collaboration with business partners   Clicker Press

Clicker Press is a manual cutting press that uses a hydraulic mechanism to press a steel rule die (template) onto a material, cutting out the desired shape. In the context of prototyping:

  • Clicker presses are particularly effective for cutting soft materials, such as textiles, leather, and foam
  • Low tooling cost
  • They provide quick and consistent results, making them suitable for producing multiple prototypes in a short time
  • Suitable for low-volume and high-volume prototyping.

Tecman collaboration with business partners   Rotary die-tooling

Rotary die-tooling involves using a cylindrical die to cut, perforate, or emboss material as it rotates. In the context of prototyping:

  • Prototype rotary die-tooling is used to create precise and intricate shapes in various materials
  • Low cost tooling using flexible dies on a magnetic cylinder
  • It offers the advantage of high-speed production, making it suitable for producing a larger quantity of prototypes in a short time
  • Enables full process replication for capability assessment
  • Rotary die-tooling is often used for materials like paper, cardboard, plastic films, and thin metals.
