NGS Printing is installing a second Zund D3 L-3200 cutting system that features two independent heads that work together to increase productivity. The system includes an automatic board-feeder and extension of the off-load area.
Having originally seen the potential for the D3 at Drupa in 2016, NGS became the first sign and graphics company in North America to install a D3. The company’s Owen Scheppman said: “We’ve had a range of different finishing systems on our floor over the past decade, but nothing has been quite as ground breaking as the Zund D3 system. We feel Zund really went the extra mile to work with us and has taken our suggested improvements to heart. This made the decision to buy a second D3 all that much easier.”
NGS produces display graphics and retail signage. “Because of the pressure to continually reduce turnaround times, our goal was to increase our throughput by at least 50%,” added Scheppman. “A year ago, we viewed the D3 as a way to get as much as twice the output from the same footprint and labor cost, and that belief has held true.”
