, the annual Cutlite Penta event
Every year we open the doors of our headquarters in Tuscany to show our laser cutting machines live at work and to bring together design engineers, technicians and the people who develop and build them every day. An authentic experience, with true Cutlite Penta hospitality.
From open house to a meeting point for the laser world.
Born as an open day, Cutlive has grown into an annual event that brings together customers, partners and professionals from all over Italy and abroad. A journey that keeps evolving, built on direct dialogue and on relationships that continue beyond the event.
Three editions, one journey.
The most international edition.
More visitors, more countries involved and the same spirit of hospitality that has always defined Cutlive. Relive the third edition through the event recap and the photo gallery.
The experience grows.
The second edition broadened Cutlive's horizons, reaching an even larger audience. A day dedicated to laser cutting technologies, with machines in operation, live demonstrations and direct dialogue with the Cutlite Penta team.
Where it all began.
The first edition of Cutlive came from a simple idea: to welcome customers and partners inside Cutlite Penta and give a live look at the machines, the technologies and the people who build them. So began an event destined to become an annual fixture.
Technology in action, not just described.
The machines at work
At Cutlive you can see our laser cutting systems working live on real materials. Performance, speed and cutting quality become immediately visible, beyond any figure on a data sheet.
The people behind the technology
Behind every Cutlite Penta machine there is a team of design engineers, technicians and specialists. During Cutlive you can meet in person the people who develop, build and service our laser systems every day.
Tuscan hospitality
Professionalism, dialogue and human warmth come together in an authentic experience. It is our Italian and Tuscan way of welcoming customers and partners from Italy and from all over the world.
A programme of events to experience together.
Cutlive is about more than live demonstrations. Around the machines at work there are meetings, in-depth sessions and opportunities for discussion dedicated to laser cutting technologies. A chance to get to know Cutlite Penta up close, share experiences and build new connections.
The voices of those who experienced Cutlive.
Customers, partners and industry professionals talk about their experience, the value of the meetings and the technologies they saw in action during Cutlive. Watch the interviews and discover the event through their words.
The Cutlite Penta Demo Area, open to the world.
For many customers, especially those coming from abroad and from emerging markets, the Demo Area is the first direct encounter with Cutlite Penta. This is where the performance of our laser cutting systems becomes tangible, through tests, demonstrations and technical discussions on real applications.
During Cutlive, the Demo Area opens to customers, partners and industry professionals, offering the chance to see the machines in operation and to assess at first hand the cutting quality, processing times and potential of the different configurations.
- Study of processing times through real simulations
- Production of sample parts with materials supplied by the customer
- Live laser cutting demonstrations
- Direct dialogue with the Cutlite Penta technical team
