AG CAD opens up new opportunities for the Colour Crew
The Colour Crew invested in a DYSS X7 digital cutting table from AG/CAD to "reduce lead times and costs, achieve greater in-house control, and open up new markets".
The Colour Crew managing director, Nick Goodall, said: "We were outsourcing a lot of cutting and due to the quantities, this out- sourced work often required die cutting and a cutting forme. The issue was the turn- around time of producing the cutting forme and the consequent cutting by an external supplier. Buying a cutting table would bring this work in-house, cut costs and lead-times and also give us control over the process. The investment was a common sense deci- sion."
We have a lot of work with the Domino Pizza
Chain that used to involve hand cutting pizza boxes and boxes for sauces and dips.

When it came to selecting a suitable cutting table, Nick reviewed the available machines and chose the DYSS X7 for a number of reasons. He found the build quality of the
DYSS exceeded similarly specified ma- chines. Added to this "robust platform", was the incentive of a cost-effective machine combined with the KASEMAKE CAD software.
The Colour Crew prints, makes signs and offer PoS solutions. So they handle a range of materials such as foam display board, laminate, vinyl, acrylic, corrugated plastics, high impact polystyrene and aluminium composite. Previously many jobs had to be outsourced for cutting; and if the shapes were challenging, the work was sometimes turned away altogether. But with the new DYSS this doesn't happen.

Colour Crew warehouse manager, John Goddard, said: "We have a lot of work with the Domino Pizza Chain that used to involve hand cutting pizza boxes and boxes for sauces and dips. This would take one em- ployee at least one to three days a week, depending upon batch quantities. This labour resource can be allocated to other tasks as the DYSS cuts hundreds of boxes in no time."
