Good to know
Zünd Cut Center (ZCC) is a software developed by the company of the same name to manage, control, and monitor its cutting systems and media loading.
ZCC can be acquired with a basic or advanced license, supports most vectorized file formats (DXF, PDF, EDP, etc.), and integrates smoothly with CalderaRIP cutting workflows.

Driver History
-
CalderaRIP V18:
- New Smart Materials feature that allows automatic association between a printer's media and a cutter's material. Exclusive to CalderaCare subscribers. Learn more.
-
As suggested by the manufacturer, we removed the “Methods” section from the output file of these drivers, as well as the “Cutting Mode” and “Registration Type” options present in the drivers' interface (in the Main Settings and Marks tabs of the Cutter Tools Configuration).
The removal improves the workflow with the ZCC software, avoiding inconsistent or duplicate values.Info
If your production requires these options, do not forget to configure them directly in the ZCC software. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
-
CalderaRIP V17.3:
- A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for most cutting drivers. Activating this new field adds direction marks in the form of a triangle pointing to the bottom edge of the cut job, which significantly speeds up the operators' work when managing these files.
-
CalderaRIP V17:
- The cutter driver is supported since this version.
Installation
Info
In the past, different cutting devices required separate licenses: CutServer for roll-to-roll cutters, GrandCut (A or B) for flatbed cutters, and a cut option for trimmers. This resulted in different installation methods depending on the device.
Today, annual subscribers and perpetual license holders with CalderaCare can use any CalderaRIP‑supported cutting device without an additional license.
| Roll-to-Roll (Legacy CutServer) | |
| Flatbed (Legacy GrandCut B) |
