CWX Workflow Tools

Packaging Cut + Crease Calculator

Upload a layered production PDF to identify camera marks, crease paths, cut paths, vector objects, line segments, enclosed area, tool lifts, traverse movement, material use, and estimated production duration.

Use a tool-path-only PDF. Remove artwork, images, proofs, and raster backgrounds before export. Hidden or unchecked artwork may still remain embedded in the PDF and can cause excessive memory use, lag, or browser failure. Visual content is ignored when detected.

Optimized Continuous Sweep completes neighboring rows or columns before moving into another region. It optimizes only inside the active layer and never changes the required Camera, Crease, then Cut operation order.

Packaging workflow

Each sheet is registered, creased, and cut. The calculator multiplies the verified per-sheet cycle by the required sheet quantity, then adds changeover time between sheets and compares the result with usable shift capacity.

XY movement uses m/s. Acceleration uses G. Knife raise and lower speeds use mm/s. Dwell values use milliseconds. Thickness follows Display Units.

Registration runs once per sheet. Additional production passes repeat cutting assignments but do not repeat camera registration.
