Cutting Department Capabilities
Precision manufacturing begins with accurate fabric preparation and cutting. Our cutting floor combines Gerber CAD pattern grading, rolled fabric testing, and high-performance blade cutters.
1. Rolled Fabric Inspection & Testing
Before any knife meets the fabric, our quality team conducts comprehensive raw material verification. All incoming textile rolls undergo:
- Automatic Fabric Inspection Machines: Fabric rolls are mounted on backlit glass inspection panels to detect weaving flaws, knit defects, color variations, and slub runs.
- GSM Verification: Circle cutters extract test samples from each roll to verify that the fabric weight matches the client's approved tech pack specifications.
- Shrinkage & Shade Grouping: Test panels are washed and ironed to calculate shrinkage percentages (in length and width). Rolled fabric is then grouped by shade variations (shade bands) to ensure color consistency across garment panels.
2. CAD Pattern Nesting & Marker Plotting
Fabric yield optimization is handled via digital CAD marker layouts:
- Gerber CAD Integration: Patterns are graded digitally for all sizes. Gerber software computes nesting layouts, maximizing fabric efficiency and minimizing cutting waste.
- High-Speed Marker Plotters: Approved nesting markers are plotted onto heavy paper layers at a 1:1 scale, serving as precise guides for our manual and semi-automatic cutting beds.
3. Fabric Spreading & Cutting Machinery
Our cutting beds support both heavy woven fabrics and delicate activewear knits:
- Spreading Beds (up to 10 Meters): Fabric is spread in layers (plies) to tension-free specifications, ensuring the knit does not contract after cutting.
- Straight Knife Cutting: Vertical straight knife cutting machines slice through heavy layups of denim, fleece, and structured cottons.
- Band Knife Cutting: Intricate garment elements (such as necklines, collar patterns, pocket outlines, and cuffs) are cut using high-precision stationary band knife machines for perfect curves.
Precision Panel Numbering: To prevent shade mismatches on finished garments, every cut panel is stamped with a batch, roll, and ply number, guaranteeing that only matching components are bundled for the sewing lines.
