Mikkelsen Innovation ApS to Showcase its FASTSEWN StitchNCutTM 3.3M Automated Flatbed Sewing and Laser Cutting Solution at PRINTING United 2026

Aarhus, DK & Milwaukee, WI — FASTSEWN will showcase the next generation of its flatbed automated textile finishing at PRINTING United 2026 with the U.S. debut demonstration of its innovative full 3.3M width StitchNCutTM flatbed sewing and laser cutting solution. This solution is designed specifically for high-volume production of Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG), pillowcase graphics, and other grand-format and industrial textile applications.

The centerpiece of the launch will be live remote demonstrations from FASTSEWN’s headquarters, where attendees will see the company’s full-size StitchNCut 3.3-meter automated flatbed sewing and laser cutting system producing finished SEG graphics and pillow graphics under real market-based production conditions. The demonstration will showcase the complete production workflow on the same deliverable system customers will begin receiving shortly after the show. “The Practical Printer,” Timothy Mitchell, will moderate these demonstrations. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to FASTSEWN’s engineering team in Denmark during the live demonstrations.

On the PRINTING United show floor, visitors will also be able to experience the FASTSEWN Patented Moving Cavity Technology (MCTTM) firsthand through demonstrations of the FS-12, its compact 1.2-meter demonstration system, illustrating the automation, precision, and ease of operation that distinguish the FASTSEWN platform. Additionally, monitors will show the remote 3.3M system live in operation between scheduled demos.

Together, the demonstrations provide attendees with a unique opportunity to see both the production-scale solution and the underlying technology that is transforming textile finishing. We will also be demonstrating the full software interface in connection with Caldera’s Prime Center, allowing sew lines, in addition to cut lines, to be generated for output to any RIP our customers may use, even if more than one.

“FASTSEWN’s StitchNCut Solution was developed to eliminate one of the largest bottlenecks in digital textile production,” said Steen B. Mikkelsen, Founder, Inventor and CEO. “By combining automated sewing and laser cutting into a single flatbed workflow, we’re enabling print providers to increase throughput, improve quality, reduce labor requirements, and deliver finished graphics faster than ever before. With the StitchNCut, a company’s growth will no longer be dependent on the ability to hire, train and keep motivated sewing personnel.”

Following PRINTING United, FASTSEWN will begin customer deliveries of its production- ready systems, manufactured in Milwaukee, WI and Aarhus, DK.

Visitors are invited to stop by the FASTSEWN by Mikkelsen Innovation, Booth C1042, to learn how flatbed automated sewing and laser cutting directly from rolls can help them ease their production. The technology increase productivity, improved consistency, and reduced personnel costs for SEG, backlit displays, pillow graphics, and other textile applications, from single customer graphics to larger scale production.
