What is industrial die cutting?

Die-cutting is an industrial process used to cut materials into precise shapes using specialised cutting tools.

This process produces :

  • technical rooms

  • electrical insulators

  • thermal management components

  • mechanical protection

  • insulating interfaces

Die cutting is particularly suitable for technical films used in electronic and energy applications.

Die cutting of technical films and insulating materials

Die-cutting is used to process a wide range of technical films used in electrical, electronic and energy applications.

The most commonly cut materials include :

  • PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polyester film

  • PEN films (polyethylene naphthalate)

  • polyimide films

  • fluoropolymer films (PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE)

  • polycarbonate films

  • polyolefin films

  • multi-layer insulating laminates

These technical films are used to produce functional parts for electrical, electronic and energy systems, particularly in :

  • thermal management

  • electrical insulation

  • mechanical protection

  • insulating interfaces for batteries and power electronics

Die cutting technologies used in industry

Different cutting technologies can be used depending on the materials and production volumes involved.

Rotary die cutting

Suitable for large-scale production of materials in rolls.

Flatbed die cutting

Enables complex parts to be produced with high precision.

 

Kiss-cutting

Enables a material to be cut without cutting its support when this is necessary for certain applications.

The choice of technology depends on :

  • of the material

  • thickness

  • of production volume

  • the complexity of geometry
