For the Business Outgrowing Its Finishing
Questions worth asking before your next stage of growth.
Capital equipment rewards deliberate thinking. These are the questions our specialists pose to owners weighing in-house digital cutting.
What does outsourced finishing truly cost you?
Beyond the invoice sits surrendered margin, extended turnaround, and dependence on another shop's schedule. In-house capability returns all three to your control.
Which contracts would same-week prototyping win?
Clients award work to the shop that can iterate today. A flatbed cutter converts sample requests from a scheduling problem into a sales advantage.
Where does your throughput stall when demand doubles?
Print capacity rarely constrains a growing shop; finishing does. Matching cutting speed to press output removes the bottleneck before it forms.
What is one platform for many markets worth?
A single Apex system serves signage, packaging, textiles, and display work. Diversified capability protects revenue when any one market softens.
Every consideration is weighed alongside a team of process and production experts who have engineered cutting workflows for more than 27 years.

Common Questions
Considered answers for a considered purchase.
Which Apex Series platform suits an entry-level operation?
The Apex E Series, offered in the 2516 configuration with a 63″ × 98″ cutting area, provides the most accessible entry into digital flatbed cutting. It preserves the precision and build quality of the broader Apex platform while remaining value engineered for startups and small-scale production environments.
What distinguishes the magnetic drive system of the Apex M Series?
Magnetic drive technology eliminates the mechanical contact inherent to belt and gear systems, permitting traverse speeds of 2.0 m/s (79 in/s) with exceptional positional accuracy. This architecture earned the Apex M Series the 2026 Printing United Pinnacle Award.
What materials can Apex Series flatbed cutters process?
The standard tooling package addresses acrylic, corrugated board, foam, textiles, vinyl, PVC, KT board, paper, and comparable substrates. Supported operations include through-cutting, kiss-cutting, V-cutting, creasing, engraving, and marking, with optional tooling available for advanced and industry-specific materials.
Does installation require rigging or structural modification?
The Apex Plus Series employs a modular build that installs in virtually any space and requires neither rigging nor special entryway accommodations. Prospective buyers of other platforms receive a site evaluation from their CUTWORX USA specialist during consultation.
