This is an industrial cutting process used to produce precise shapes in adhesive tapes, films or technical papers. Using specific cutting tools, it is possible to produce one-off or mass-produced parts tailored to the needs of manufacturers in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, medical and many other sectors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Die cutting involves using a cutting tool (flat plate or rotating cylinder) to transform a roll of material - adhesive, foam, plastic film or paper - into pre-cut parts in a variety of shapes.
