Frequently Asked Questions
What is die cutting and how does it work?
Die cutting is a precision manufacturing process used to cut custom shapes from materials like foam, felt, plastic, rubber, and more. At Solo Products, we use flatbed and rotary die cutting machines—think of them as high-powered industrial cookie cutters. Each “die” is engineered to match your exact design, ensuring consistency at scale.
Flatbed die cutting is ideal for thick or rigid materials, while rotary die cutting is perfect for roll-to-roll production, such as adhesive-backed parts or high-volume label runs.
What materials can Solo Products die cut?
We specialize in die cutting a wide range of materials, including:
-
Foam (PU, PE, and more)
-
Felt (including Mil Spec F-55 and PSA-backed options)
-
UHMW and other engineered plastics
-
Rubber, cork, fabric, foil, and adhesives
-
Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle (BSR) materials for automotive NVH control
With over 24 years of experience, we serve industries like automotive OEM, defense, manufacturing, and distribution, delivering precision parts at competitive costs.
Can Solo Products die cut plastic?
Yes — plastic die cutting is one of our core capabilities. We work with materials such as UHMW, HDPE, and other durable plastics to create precision parts for automotive, medical, packaging, and industrial use. Whether you need prototypes or full-scale production runs, we’ll tailor the right approach for your application.
How does Solo handle die cutting for foam materials?
Our team is highly experienced in converting a variety of foams — from thin PU foam strips to thick vinyl nitrile sponge or PE foam. We offer flatbed die cutting, traveling head presses, roll slitting, and laminating services to meet your project needs. We also provide anti-static foams, high-density options, and CNC routing for more complex designs.
What role does CNC routing play in the die cutting process?
CNC routers give us the flexibility to produce high-precision parts without the need for traditional tooling. With tolerances as tight as ±0.03″, we can handle complex shapes, short runs, and fast turnarounds—while minimizing material waste and cost. This is ideal for prototypes, dense materials like UHMW, or when design iterations are required.
What is material converting, and why choose a specialist?
Material converting transforms raw sheets, rolls, or blocks into finished parts using cutting, laminating, slitting, or shaping processes. A skilled converting partner like Solo Products helps you reduce lead times, lower labor costs, and improve part quality.
We offer full-service converting—from roll slitting to digital tool-free cutting—and bring decades of experience across automotive, defense, and industrial sectors.
