An outstanding feature of our Zünd digital cutting center is the very wide variety of materials that can be processed. Thanks to the modular design, soft materials such as rubber as well as cardboard and sandwich panels can be cut, grooved or marked. The maximum clamping area is 1800 x 2500 mm.

The digital cutter guide explains which editing methods are possible. It also explains what to take into consideration for the preparation of files. Please always use our current templates for file preparation.

CO2 laser - The laser works with a maximum output of 60 watts. The table size is 914x609 mm. The versatile machine can engrave/grid engrave and cut. The laser is primarily used for very small geometries, as the precise cut allows very fine structures to be produced. Depending on the material, a dark discoloration of the cut edge and a slight smoke deposit on the top and bottom of the material cannot be avoided. The contours must be assigned to the layers contained in the template.

The milling module on our digital cutter enables us to machine materials that are too hard for knife cutting. This allows us to process wood-based materials or hard plastics. The maximum clamping area is 1800 x 2500 mm.

A 2D file is used for 3-axis milling. The tool paths are created on the basis of the contours.

The milling operations must be assigned to the layers contained in the template files. The milling operations are explained in the guide and the file creation is explained using the templates.

3D printers - Our printers can produce models up to 240x200x200 mm in size using the FDM printing process. Overhangs with an angle of more than 45 degrees are printed with support material. When preparing the model parts, the design rules for FDM printing must be observed. The standard material is PLA. Please ask for other materials.
We will soon also be offering printing using the SLA process.

A .stl file is required. Please prepare the print file in the appropriate scale.

The geometry must consist of closed volumes and the wall thickness should not be less than 1.5mm.
