K-1 Packaging Group Adds New Technology From Esko

The Kongsberg XL22's wide range of tools includes one that uses a bit to rout through materials instead of slicing it. "This capability allows us to make samples that require the use of more exotic materials," notes Tsai. "Until we got the Kongsberg table, our samples' cutting process frequently required the use of full-blown steel rule cutting dies because our previous CAD table couldn't cut through the more unusual materials. Now we can produce prototypes for premium packaging faster and more economically with the Kongsberg table."
