Mitigate the effects of expansion resulting from the sublimation process and expedite your decorating workflow
Following the transfer process, it’s typical to encounter fabric shrinkage or expansion in polyester materials due to the thermal shocks experienced by the fibers. This leads to deformations in the designs that must be managed during the cutting phase.
The realm of sublimation printing has long grappled with challenges related to design and garment shape deformations.
Such deformation is caused by the thermal sublimation process and subsequent calendering phases, which can alter the garment and decoration proportions.
While often imperceptible to the naked eye, these issues of the sublimation printing come critical during the cutting of garment contours or decorative elements for subsequent assembly phases.
Leveraging artificial vision allows for compensating for these challenges by swiftly and accurately adapting cutting files to match the actual proportions of printed decorations and garment contours. (…) The onboard cameras integrated into our laser systems enable the utilization of print markers, positioned outside the objects intended for laser cutting, to promptly compare measurements between printed objects and the ideal specifications outlined in the cutting file.
This process occurs within milliseconds, facilitating a comprehensive scan of the cutting area. The markers, strategically placed to support the laser cutting singulation process, ensure precise outcomes.
Our SMF software dynamically adjusts the original design based on real-time data from the vision system:
The customer is our focus: it is the commitment to excellence that we carry forward at Seit Elettronica.
