Die-cutting, make a proof, how can be easier?

Firstly, check the structure of die-cutting product.

First of all, we get a product drawing, do not rush to think about its process, the most important thing is to first check the product’s structure, including materials, tolerances and other issues. Of course, these might be more difficult for some people who have just been involved in die-cutting. Because they may not understand the product material related properties. It does not matter, this is a process of daily accumulation. After you analyze the structure of the product and the materials used, you basically know the properties of the die-cut product and the die-cutting machines that are needed to achieve the production. Of course, these are ultimately confirmed with the customer.

Secondly, confirm the impact of product quality projects

Some people say that after I analyzed the product structure, is it possible to start the proofing? The answer is of course NO. If you want to cut corners during proofing, some of the items that affect product quality (yield) must be confirmed.

1.Customer use of the production of die-cutting machine model type

Different die-cutting machine can achieve different tolerance requirements, process design is different, this confirmation is not good, you can not confirm the feasibility of your design process. For example, you worked hard to design a set of die-cutting process that can achieve the tolerance range. You also have a great sense of accomplishment. However, the process can not be produced to the customer because the customer lacks a die-cutting machine that can realize the process , And customers do not want to buy this machine because of a small order, it is estimated that you will have a kind of feeling of tears.

2. Select the mold for the product

Only understand the tolerance requirements of the customer before the design, you can have a predictable selection of the right mold, according to the characteristics of the product to select the mold, followed by: 1, the accuracy of the product 2, the material of the material 3, the output of the product.

3. Analysis of product problems point

Familiar with the assembly of the product and the use of the product, this information is very helpful for future product design. Knowing these, you know which surfaces are the façade, which ones are non-façade, where the material is to be peeled off, and where the same product previously produced is not suitable for use. Even including the life of some products, if you understand the actual assembly of the product and use, you know which materials can be replaced, making the production easier and does not affect the use of. Thus optimizing die-cutting products.

It must be borne in mind that doing die-cutting is simplifying complex problems. Often I see some people proud of what a precise set of products they do, and I think it is very ignorant. Because many products may not require that high accuracy due to the nature of their use, cost savings can be achieved by reducing accuracy. If you as a proofing engineer, can not help them point out these words, they may always feel that such a process design is no problem. Then our corporate profits will be reduced.

Only by mastering this information can we proceed with the design process and proofing operations.
