Custom Die-Cut Components
Die cutting allows specialist materials to be converted into finished shapes using dedicated tooling.
Components can range from relatively simple squares, rectangles and circular parts through to more application-specific profiles incorporating openings, slots or other features.
The finished shape can be developed around the customer’s drawing, dimensions, sample component or application requirements.
Typical fabricated components can include:
Consistency for Repeat Production
Where the same component is required repeatedly, manual cutting can be time-consuming and may introduce unnecessary variation.
Die cutting provides a more controlled production method, helping to achieve consistent dimensions and repeatable finished parts across a production run.
This can help customers:
Once the required component has been established, Teastech can reproduce it for ongoing production requirements.
Specialist Materials
Teastech works with a range of high-performance materials used in demanding industrial environments.
Depending on the application, die-cut components can be produced from suitable materials including:
Material selection will depend on the particular performance requirements of the finished component.
Components Designed Around the Application
The correct material and construction can be just as important as the shape of the finished part.
Teastech can advise on the appropriate material before converting it into the required finished shape.
When reviewing a die-cut requirement, factors can include:
From Sheet Material to Finished Part
Our fabrication service allows customers to purchase a finished, production-ready component rather than sourcing specialist sheet material and cutting it themselves.
This is particularly useful where components need to be replaced regularly or used repeatedly within a manufacturing process.
For recurring requirements, an agreed component specification can be maintained, helping ensure consistency between subsequent orders.
Suitable for Prototype and Production Requirements
Teastech combines specialist material knowledge with in-house fabrication capabilities.
Die-cut components can be developed for a variety of industrial applications and production requirements.
Where a new component is being developed, Teastech can work from the customer’s dimensions, drawing or existing part to establish the required material and finished configuration.
Once approved, the same specification can be used for repeat production.
Other Fabrication Options
Not every converted-material requirement is best suited to sheet-fed die cutting.
Depending on the shape, quantity and how the finished component will be used, Teastech can also provide other fabrication options including:
Our team can advise on the most practical fabrication method for the application.
