The vision workflow solution for CAM/CNC systems


  
 

Why has i-cut earned the reputation as the premiere open software solution for vision based registration for graphics finishing?
It works, simply.

With CNC cutters, routers, lasers and waterjets, only i-cut offers the power of proven full non-linear distortion correction, a simple, intuitive user interface, and full prepress and RIP integration. Jobs are quickly prepared and sent to the cutting device without error or miscalculation. And with the many i-script compatible RIP’s only i-cut integrates finishing from the design, printing and cutting steps.

Designers are able to work within their standard tool set to create finished jobs for printing and finishing. Through the i-cut/i-script open workflow, Operators with limited or no computer skills are able to produce precision-cut graphics after only a few hours of training. Owners and managers can rely on razor sharp reliability and efficiency - without spending time worrying about costly mistakes or missed deadlines.

Your customers are asking more from their investments in your CAM & CNC solutions. With i-cut they will be able to efficiently produce a vast array of finished graphic products such as flat and dimensional point of purchase, flexible vinyl, adhesives, in-store displays, outdoor advertising, fleet & vehicle graphics, decal and label, and more. They desire flexible manufacturing, and with i-cut they can get it.

  
 

All prints have distortion! When printed graphics are produced distortion is introduced into the printed results that make the original digital die line inaccurate for cutting. This distortion occurs with digital, offset and screen printing and can be due to the printing process itself, the media instability, variable roll tension, distortion during lamination, and more. With i-cut, your customer never needs to worry about the type of distortion, or the severity – it works for all! i-cut offers five distinct types of distortion correction algorithms that accurately work for all types of applications:
  • Position: Size, shape and relative positioning of the curves all remain intact.

  • Register Curve: Each element registered individually from all other objects in the file.

  • Register Layer: Similar to Register Curve, this registration type processes each layer individually.

  • Linear Compensation: The size, shape, offset and rotation of all objects are altered in a linear fashion.

  • Non-Linear Compensation: Offers the highest level of compensation available and provides the closest possible match of the cut path to printed graphic.
