The V shape cutting tool is a specialised tool used to create precise, angled grooves in the shape of a “V”, that allow rigid or semi-rigid materials to be folded cleanly along the scored line. These tools remove a controlled amount of material from the surface, creating a channel that facilitates sharp, professional folds without cracking or distorting the outer surface. V-cutting is especially useful for producing three-dimensional structures from flat sheets.
V-cutting tools are commonly used with materials such as composite panels such as ACM, PVC foam board, cardboard, honeycomb board, and display board. They are essential in industries such as packaging, exhibition design, retail displays, and architectural signage, where clean folds and structural precision are crucial. Common applications include display stands, custom enclosures, folding panels, and protective packaging solutions.
The process involves using a multi-angle blade that cuts along a pre-programmed path. The blade can be set at different angles — often 45°, 60°, or 90° — depending on the desired folding geometry. The depth of the groove is carefully controlled so that only part of the material is removed, leaving the back layer intact to act as a hinge for folding. Using CAD software, operators define groove positions, angles, and depths, which are executed by the digital system with high precision.
The V shape cutting tool reduces the need for manual scoring and improve the structural consistency of folded products. They enable efficient prototyping and production of complex shapes while maintaining a high-quality finish. As part of a digital workflow, the tool offers speed, accuracy, and design flexibility, making them indispensable in modern fabrication environments.
Common materials: Re-board, Foam board, corrugated plastic, honeycomb board.
