Today, most of the Chinese laser cutting equipment uses the RD Works program, so I will explain how to use CCD camera cutting(crop marks cutting) in RD Works.
I. Why Laser Cutting Equipment Was Added to UV Printers
1. Cell Phone Case Transfer and UV Printing
Until early 2010, we were printing cell phone cases with a Mimaki small UV printer, but the ink dots were coarse and it was not very effective.
Around the same time, an Italian company implemented thermal transfer printing on a film using an Epson printer.
[The cost of film, the cost of ink, and the inconvenience of having to do thermal transfer manually.]
Despite these costs and inconveniences, most companies that make mobile phone cases used thermal transfer because the ink dots were not visible.
However, with the advent of the Roland UV Printer with fine ink dot, the market for cell phone cases has become divided. High-priced cell phone cases are printed using thermal transfer, while inexpensive cell phone cases are printed using UV printing.
As the mobile phone case market became more active, it began to lean toward UV printer production rather than thermal transfer,
Due to the difference in color depending on the thermal transfer temperature, it was difficult to mass-produce with thermal transfer equipment,
and as low-cost 2-hole or 1-hole thermal transfer 6-hole models emerged, the number of manufacturers increased, and the printing cost of mobile phone cases fell.
As the printing cost fell, it was impossible to meet the production cost with thermal transfer, so it began to lean toward UV printer production.
UV Printer Heyday Also,
Because they were competing with each other, the initial market comparison, printing unit price dropped a lot, and it became a situation where it was not possible to get a good margin like before,
and as the camera height of the new mobile phone model got higher, UV Printer printing became difficult.
2. Unfamiliar goods products
“Keychains, small souvenirs related to celebrities, Japanese cartoon character goods”
Since I was not interested in these kinds of goods, I often saw them at exhibitions, but I thought, ‘Can these make money?’
What seemed meaningless to me seemed like an “opportunity” to those who were prepared.
That’s how the main items of UV printers in the domestic market moved from “cellphone cases” to “goods.”
3. With the advent of laser cutting equipment crop mark cutting function,
Until 2017, the only small UV printers that could operate properly were Japanese-made ones.
Since purchasing expensive Japanese-made UV printers was a huge burden for most small businesses,
Instead of purchasing laser cutting machines and producing them themselves, they asked companies that had laser cutting machines to cut acrylic.
At the time, almost all laser cutting machines did not have crop mark cutting functions, so cutting the printed acrylic to the origin was also a skill.
Due to this technical barrier, those who had UV printers could not even think about buying laser cutting machines.
However, as German-made equipment with crop mark cutting functions became available in Korea, the technical barrier of “aligning the origin” disappeared,
and even though it was expensive, those who used UV printers gradually began to purchase German-made laser cutting machines.
4. As the Chinese equipment level increases,
China UV printers began to be distributed in Korea in 2017, and with good cost-effectiveness and ‘useful’ evaluations, their market share is now steadily increasing.
Laser equipment is also equipped with crop mark functions in China,
* The market share of American equipment that is too expensive is decreasing,
* There are evaluations that German equipment is ‘excessive’ in terms of cost-effectiveness compared to Chinese equipment.
Just as the market share of Chinese UV printers is increasing in the UV printer market, the market share of Chinese laser cutting equipment is also expected to steadily increase.
II. RD works crop mark cutting function
1. Chinese laser cutting machine program
The company that created the RD works program is a Chinese company.
However, it is not just a small business, but a large company.
Almost all laser cutting machines produced in China use this RD works program.
2. If you are considering purchasing a laser cutting machine,
For your information, ARTJET is a company specializing in UV Printers.
We also sell laser cutting machines, but this article is not an advertisement for the laser cutting machines we sell.
However, before purchasing a laser cutting machine, if you know ‘This is how Chinese equipment works’
I think it will help you make a decision in the future, whether you purchase American, German, or Chinese equipment.
If you watch the video below from the 3-minute mark, you can see everything from height setting to crop mark cutting.
