Our digital cutting solutions contribute significantly to overall productivity increases; however, just as importantly, the trend towards automation involving different phases of production also demands seamless data flow”

Lars Bendixen of Product Manager Graphics says: “Our digital cutting solutions contribute significantly to overall productivity increases; however, just as importantly, the trend towards automation involving different phases of production also demands seamless data flow. By combining the new Zünd D3 ultra high-performance cutter with Zünd Cut Center, ZCC software, we can offer obvious added value to customers looking to make their production both more efficient and more profitable.”

The D3 is available in various four sizes ranging from the D3 L-3200 with a working area of 1,800 x 3,200mm to the D3 3XL-3200 that accommodates a work area of 3,210 x 3,200mm.

Zünd also explains that the dual beam construction achieves its higher throughput of work by creating a, “flawless, end-to-end digital production workflow,” and in doing so will allow firms to increase their profitability and efficiency.
