Automate DTF Cutting. Keep Production Moving.
The AcroShear Automated DTF Transfer Cutting System automatically crosscuts and slits printed and cured DTF film, helping reduce the manual work required to turn continuous film into individual transfer sheets.
Run it inline after a DTF dryer or use the automated unwind system to process previously printed rolls.
Print. Cut. Slit. Keep Production Moving.

Turn Printed DTF Film into Production-Ready Transfers
As DTF production speeds increase, manually cutting and separating transfers can become another time-consuming step.
AcroShear automates that process, taking printed and cured DTF film through cross cutting and slitting to create individual transfer sheets ready for production.
- Automatic cross cutting
- Simultaneous slitting
- Printed-mark detection
- Automated job changes
- Automatic film management
- Inline or roll-fed production
One System. Two Ways to Work.
INLINE PRODUCTION
Connect It to Your DTF Workflow
Position AcroShear downstream from a DTF dryer to move printed and cured film directly into cutting and slitting.
PRINT → CURE → ACROSHEAR → PRODUCTION
STANDALONE PRODUCTION
Cut Previously Printed Rolls
Run it inline today. Finish rolls tomorrow. One cutting platform.

5 Slitter Combinations. 10 Independently Driven Shear Positions.
AcroShear features 5 slitter combinations with two independently driven industrial rotary shear positions per combination, providing 10 total shear positions.
Use only the combinations required for the job, giving operators flexibility across different transfer layouts and finished widths.
- Multiple simultaneous slit positions
- Selective slitter engagement
- Job-specific configuration
- QR-directed setup
- Faster production changeovers
Engage only the slitters the job needs.
Automated Cutting That Reads the Job
AcroShear combines its Automated Production Application with information printed directly on the DTF film to control the cutting workflow.
- Automated Production Application
The proprietary application generates cross-cut marks, slitter-position information and job-change information independently of the printer RIP, providing greater flexibility when integrating AcroShear into an existing DTF workflow.
- QR-Based Job Automation
- Job changes
- Slitter positions
- Cutting requirements
- Upcoming workflow changes
- Automatic Printed-Mark Detection
Smarter Film Handling from Dryer to Cutter
Edge-Driven Film Transport
Move the Film. Protect the Artwork.
Relaxed Film Loop
Less Dependency on Upstream Equipment
LiDAR Film-Loop Monitoring
The Cutter Watches the Loop
LiDAR monitoring tracks available film and allows AcroShear to pause when additional film is needed rather than pulling against upstream equipment.
Automate the Step Between Printing and Production
As DTF printing gets faster, manually cutting transfers can become the next production bottleneck.
AcroShear helps automate that step with automatic cross cutting, independently driven rotary shear slitters, QR-based job automation, automatic film management, and inline or standalone operation.
Automation Built Around Production
- Automatic slitter pre-cut and cross-cut positioning
- Automatic QR and job-change detection
- Film-out detection
- Operator-guided slitter changes
- Automatic unwind control
- Multiple film-speed settings
Designed for the Operator
A 3.5-inch touchscreen provides operators with production information and system controls using straightforward terminology.
An integrated Help Menu, LED status indicators and automatic startup equipment check provide additional guidance during operation.
Designed and Manufactured in the USA
AcroShear is designed and manufactured in the USA with an emphasis on production automation, durability and serviceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
AcroShear automates the cutting and slitting of printed and cured DTF film. It takes continuous film and performs the cross cutting and slitting required to create individual transfer sheets, reducing the manual cutting required between printing and production.
Yes. AcroShear is designed for inline operation downstream from a DTF dryer. Once the film is printed and cured, it can move directly into the AcroShear cutting workflow.
Yes. AcroShear can process previously printed DTF rolls using its automated unwind system, allowing printing and cutting to take place during different production periods.
Depending on transfer size and job configuration, AcroShear can process up to 3,300 4" × 4" transfers per hour, 1,800 8" × 8" transfers per hour, or 1,080 12" × 12" transfers per hour. Actual output varies based on production conditions.
AcroShear is designed for DTF film up to 24 inches / 600 mm wide and can process continuous roll-fed or inline media.
AcroShear reads printed registration marks to determine cross-cut positioning. QR information incorporated into the printed film can also communicate job changes, slitter positions and cutting requirements.
AcroShear does not need to be permanently tied to one printer manufacturer or RIP environment. Its dedicated software application can generate the production information required by the cutting workflow independently of the printer RIP.
AcroShear customers gain access to a proprietary Automated Production Application that generates cross-cut marks, slitter-position information and job-change information independently of the printer RIP.
