New York City College of Technology Students To Benefit from New POLAR 115 X Cutter
Tuesday 01. June 2010 - A new, high-speed, programmable 45? POLAR 115 X paper cutter is at work in the Department of Advertising Design and Graphic Arts (ADGA) at New York City College of Technology, where it will be a learning platform for students pursuing two- and four-year degrees in graphic arts and production management.
The new cutter, says Lloyd Carr, director of graphic arts studies, “replaces a mid-20th century, analog POLAR cutter with a more precise, programmable, managed workflow, and safer, more productive functionality. ADGA is hopeful that the new cutters features and benefits will continue to be efficiently and effectively valuable through the next few decades.”
Carr says that Heidelberg helped by training four faculty members in the use of the POLAR 115 X. “Ongoing curriculum development raised an urgent awareness of the need to include networkable bindery equipment to help educate graphic design and production students,” says Carr, whose department serves about 1,100 students. “Graphic communication design and graphic arts production management objectives can now make direct connections to timely, functional industry needs using this new equipment.”
Located in downtown Brooklyn, City Tech is a division of the City University of New York (CUNY). It is the largest four-year public college of technology in the northeastern U.S.
