Automotive aesthetics

The TEKNOVA KUTT Câmera 160 is a cutting plotter with a usable cutting width of 153 cm, camera contour reading up to 143 cm, a speed of 800 mm/s, and downforce up to 500 g — a configuration recommended for cutting PPF, automotive film, and wrapping vinyl. For automotive styling, the practical advantage is cutting pre-designed PPF patterns with repeatability, without using a manual blade on the paint.

TEKNOVA's Router CNC AMERICAN 2030 is a CNC milling machine with a working area of 223 × 365 cm, a 4.5 kW spindle at 24,000 rpm, a vacuum table with two pumps, and rack and pinion drive on the X and Y axes.

DTF (Direct to Film) printing prints the design onto PET film using pigment ink, applies adhesive powder, and transfers it to the fabric using a heat press, working on cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics, light or dark, without requiring screens. On TEKNOVA's PRIME DTF Têxtil 60X, with two Epson i3200-A1 printheads and an output of 10 m²/h, a 60 cm linear meter costs R$ 15.14 in media.
