cutting requirement is now dependent
on the cutter. The job description is
simplified for your employees, and
the quality increases along with your
consistency. This ability to produce
more product with fewer people is
now the reality all while your profit
margin increases.
2D before 3D
There are other tools that you can
look forward to in the future such as a
Proliner or scanner, but don't go too
fast. I can't stress this enough. Learn
2D first; then move into 3D. Those
of you moving into this 3D category,
my advice is to get your checklists
in order. You don't have a pattern to
write on anymore; therefore, you need
to document and check things off.
I look at it like a series of questions
that need to be answered such as,
What type of track, snap type, frame
diameter, cutouts and special zip start
locations? These are things that also
deviate from your standard process.
Adapting tech into your shop and
becoming proficient does not happen
overnight, and you will have some
frustrating moments. It's a big change,
but looking back, I can't imagine
returning to the " old way " as I call
it. It's not a bad way, and it got us to
where we are today. But now is the
time to be open-minded to new tech
or you might get left behind.
