When it comes to adding pocketing functionality for materials like acrylic or aluminium composite material (ACM) for signage, displays, or intricate design projects, a DYSS digital cutter equipped with a router is your best choice. These machines combine the precision of CNC routing with the versatility of digital cutting, making them ideal for high-quality and efficient pocketing.

Why Use a DYSS Digital Cutter for Pocketing?

The DYSS digital cutter is renowned for its precision, speed and versatility and can handle a huge range of sign making and graphics materials. When pocketing acrylic or ACM, accuracy is crucial to ensure clean, consistent cuts and the best possible finish. With the addition of a high frequency router, the DYSS cutter handles these dense materials smoothly and efficiently.

Here are some key benefits:

  • Precision Cutting: The DYSS’s advanced software and high-frequency router provide exceptional accuracy. This means tight tolerances and clean edges.
  • Versatility: Switching between routing and other cutting tools is quick and easy. This feature is helpful when projects require routing and knife-cutting functions that need to be handled one after the other.
  • Speed and Efficiency: With its optimised routing capabilities, a DYSS cutter can pocket large areas swiftly while maintaining consistent depth and quality. This saves time and increases productivity, especially for high-volume projects.

Tips for Pocketing Acrylic and ACM

  1. Tool Selection: Use a high-quality, balanced router bit designed for acrylic or ACM. AG/CAD supplies a wide range of consumables suitable for use with the DYSS range of machines.
  2. Speed and Feed Rates: Set your spindle speed and feed rates based on the material. DYSS plot processing software allows the user great flexibility in all aspects of machine control.
  3. Depth of Cut: Multiple passes may be selected to get a premium finish depending on your desired pocket depth. The software supplied with a DYSS enables precise control over depth and number of passes.

Final Thoughts

A DYSS digital cutter equipped with a router is a great solution for anyone needing to pocket acrylic or ACM with precision and efficiency. By optimising your setup and using the proper techniques, you can create stunning, high-quality designs with ease.
