Fabric cutting machine: how it works

  1. Fabric is spread on a long table in many layers, called a lay, by hand or by a spreading machine.
  2. The pattern layout, the marker, is laid on top or loaded into the cutter's computer.
  3. With a straight knife the operator pushes the machine along the lines while its blade moves up and down through all the layers.
  4. In an automatic cutter the lay is held down by vacuum, and a computer-guided knife follows the marker by itself.
  5. The cut parts are numbered, bundled and sent to the sewing lines.

Main types

Straight knife cutting machine
A vertical blade on a stand that the operator moves by hand. The common cutter for thick lays.
Round knife cutting machine
A small turning disc blade, for a few layers, samples and gentle curves.
Band knife cutting machine
A fixed endless blade on a table. Blocks of the lay are moved against it to cut small parts exactly.
Automatic cutter
Cuts from a digital marker without drawn lines. For large orders and the same accuracy every time.
End cutter
Runs on a rail across the table and cuts the fabric off at the end of each layer during spreading.

Where it fits in the process

It works in the cutting room, after fabric inspection and spreading. Bundles of cut parts go on to printing or embroidery if needed, and then to sewing.

Common questions

How many types of fabric cutting machine are there?

The hand-guided types are the straight knife, the round knife and the band knife. The computer-controlled types are the automatic knife cutter and, for single layers and special materials, the laser cutter. End cutters and die presses do supporting jobs.

When does a factory need an automatic cutter?

When orders are large and repeated, when parts must match exactly, or when skilled cutters are hard to find. A straight knife is simpler to run and is enough for small and mixed orders.

What is the price of a fabric cutting machine in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. A hand-guided straight knife and a computer-controlled cutter are very different purchases, so the price depends first on the type, then on the blade size or cutting area and on whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.
