Can It Work With Different Rhinestone Sizes and Shapes?
Yes. The CAMS Automatic Rhinestone Setting Machine is built for flexibility. It supports multiple rhinestone sizes through interchangeable hoppers. This makes it easy to switch between unique design requirements.
It also works with various embellishment types, including Rhinestuds, Hotfix stones, and Nailheads:
Rhinestuds
Rhinestuds are metallic alternatives to rhinestones. They’re hotfix-compatible, lead-free, and come in solid, defined colors.
Hotfix Stones
Hotfix Stones have heat-activated glue on one side. A heat press or iron bonds them to fabric securely.
Nailheads
Nailheads are flat-topped metal decorations. They are ideal for garments like jeans, where scratch resistance is important.
