Super Fast Gasket Cutting with Atom Flashcut
CNC Die-less Knife Cutter System
Cutting custom gaskets just got a lot easier and a lot more affordable with our high-speed knife cutting system that performs precision cuts without a gasket die, Atom Flashcut Flex S gasket cutting system.
It's an economical solution for large product types. Instead of building a steel rule gasket die, simply submit an Autocad drawing and our CNC based knife-cutter will take of the rest.
The process causes no concavity and produces clean cut edges. It is well suited for projects which require quick prototyping with close attention to aesthetics.
Perform kiss-cuts with ease and achieve extremely precise cuts. Perfect for tight tolerance applications necessary in both aerospace and pharmaceutical industries.
You can save money by using less material. State-of-the-art CNC software allows for automatic nesting of shapes within shapes thereby simultaneously reducing waste and increasing product yield.. Check FAQ section for detailed information.

How Does Dieless Knife Cutting Work?
Dieless knife cutter machines Do Not Need a custom built die. They are based on a CNC system with a programmable, oscillating knife blade cutter on a bed-type table.
High powered LED lights project design right on to the cutting table. This allows operator to visualize and improve arrangment before any cutting begins.
State-of-the-art software allows for automatic nesting of shapes within shapes, hence yield is increased and waste is reduced.
Can Dieless Cutting Machines Cut Compressed Fiber?
Yes, our dieless cutter system Can Cut Compressed Fiber.
