How does photo digitalization work?
Setting up the system is remarkably simple and designed for maximum process reliability:
- One-time Installation: A high-resolution camera is mounted at a distance of approximately 2 meters above the work surface.
- Precise Calibration: The system is calibrated once. This allows the software to “know” exactly how to convert pixels into real-world measurements (millimeters), guaranteeing a true-to-scale reproduction of your templates.
- Digitalization at the Touch of a Button: The templates are placed on the work surface and photographed.
- Software Processing: Our specialized software imports the image, automatically detects the contours, and converts them into a digital format.
Why is the Photodigitizer indispensable for your production?
Seamless Integration into the CNC Workflow:
To know where to cut, a modern CNC cutter requires digital vector data. The Photodigitizer provides this data directly from your existing templates, bridging the gap between manual patterns and automated manufacturing.
Optimization through Nesting Software:
Once digitized, your patterns can be processed in nesting software. The software calculates the optimal arrangement of parts on the fabric to minimize material waste and save costs—a decisive advantage over the manual placement of cardboard templates.
Space Savings and Data Security:
Physical templates take up space and can wear out or get lost. By digitalizing with our system, you archive your valuable patterns securely on a server, making them available at the click of a mouse.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Time Savings: Scan in seconds instead of manual digitizing.
- Maximum Precision: True-to-scale conversion through professional calibration.
- Material Efficiency: Optimal fabric utilization through digital nesting preparation.
- Future-Proof: The ideal addition to your CNC cutter workflow.
Put an end to laborious manual processes. Digitalize your textile patterns with our Photodigitizer – precise, fast, and efficient.
