Reciprocating Knife Cutting | SRP
Fast. Flexible. Precise.
SRP’s reciprocating knife cutting services offer a clean and efficient solution for producing custom gaskets and components — especially when dealing with thick, soft, or compressible materials. Ideal for prototyping and short production runs, our knife cutting systems deliver tight tolerances without the need for hard tooling.
What Is Reciprocating Knife Cutting?
Reciprocating knife cutting uses a rapidly moving blade to cut material along a programmed path. This method is especially effective on foams, sponges, and rubber materials that are difficult to die-cut or laser-cut without distortion.
Key Advantages:
- No Tooling Required – Ideal for quick turns, prototyping, and low-volume runs
- Clean, Precise Cuts – Even on thick or compressible substrates
- CAD-to-Cut Flexibility – Easily switch designs with no downtime
- Minimal Material Waste – Optimized nesting for cost-effective production
- Ideal for Soft Materials – Works well with foam, sponge rubber, silicones, and specialty laminates
