Precision Cutting

Think of Budnick as your partner for all things converting. When it comes to precision cutting/converting, we have an array of capabilities and the extensive industry knowledge to provide the correct part, using the proper process, at a reasonable price.

High Speed Plotter

The high speed, digital, table-top cutting system works great on a wide variety of both roll and sheet material for shorter production runs requiring tight tolerance kiss-cut, through-cut, or router cut parts.

In-Line Laser

Pairing laser technology with rotary press capabilities allows us to produce infinite parts in endless ways - enabling us to create unique parts and prototypes in a production setting with little or no tooling.

Waterjet Cutting Services

The CNC controlled ultra-high pressure water stream cuts almost any material to extremely tight tolerances, elimination of tooling costs makes it ideal for when conventional methods are unavailable

What We Offer

Today’s engineers need the design freedom to maximize space utilization while creating cost effective products. To succeed, they need both materials and fabricating processes to meet stringent tolerance requirements. The variety of Budnick’s precision cutting capabilities allows us to use the optimum cutting method for your part’s design and material composition often without the assistance of traditional dies and tools.

Unlike many of our competitors that are forced to “fit a square peg into a round hole,” we have the right process for almost all jobs. We are fabricating parts from materials that were once considered “unmachinable.”

When selecting the proper cutting method, you must consider the material composition, thickness, tolerances, quantities per run, finished part presentation, and many other factors.

Waterjet is a great solution for thicker foams and parts that require very intricate cuts while eliminating the thermal stress issues affecting some materials during the laser cutting process. For materials that are not thermally sensitive, our in-line laser cutting system is ideal for quickly produced intricate parts - and is perfect for presenting kitted rolls where multiple component designs are required on the same roll.

Because we retain experienced press operators and all precision cutting is done using ISO 9001:2015 certified quality processes, you can be sure that you will consistently receive high-quality parts that meet your design and tolerance demands.
