Three measurements, and the drawing is done.
From the same three measurements come the paper and board layouts, the cutting die with dimensions and metres of rule, and the 3D with the real paper, all consistent with each other: change one measurement and they update together. Keep your CAD for the special piece. The everyday work is done by Cartis.
An ordinary day.
A new magnetic box
The base board and the shell board each have their own thickness; the lip is worked out by the program. Out come the paper and board layouts and the cutting die with cuts and creases. If needed, the double-flap and double-cover variants.
A DXF from the customer
As soon as you import it, Cartis checks units and scale. In the archive it was born from, 728 files out of 1,002 declared a unit different from the real one: a mistake that, without a check, you discover at the cutter.
A foam insert
The sheet with numbered cavities and the cutting grid, the nesting of the pieces, the cutting time calculated from the DXF with your plotter's speeds. At the end, the DXF for the machine.
What Cartis does in the technical office.
For every piece, with lips, turn-ins and tolerances derived from the thickness and the paper.
Cuts, creases, metres of cutting rule. Before you order a new one, the register tells you whether you already have one that will do.
Shaped inserts and foam read from the drawing, checked for units and scale, brought into 3D.
The pieces laid out on the sheet; the machine time from the drawing; the sequence for the guillotine.
Layered sheet at 1:1 with cut paths and safe area; board thickness declared.
Style, step, material, machine and reference sample: the instructions stay with the job.
Drawings go out in open formats: take them wherever you like.
The same job, seen by the others.
Real margins at 200 pieces, dies not ordered twice, actual costs when the job closes. And your price lists stay yours.
