In the upholstery industry, precision is key when it comes to cutting fabric and creating high-quality products.
Manual fabric cutting is time-consuming and labour-intensive, requiring skilled workers to measure, mark, and cut materials by hand. With the advancement of technology, CAD/CAM and AI have revolutionised the way upholstery manufacturers operate, offering numerous benefits to improve efficiency and productivity.
GraphCut CNC
The GraphCut range of CNC automated fabric cutters from VetiGraph offers high-tech and affordable cutting solutions for any size of business.
One of the major advantages of using CNC fabric cutting technology is the level of precision and accuracy it provides. The range of tools on GraphCut means that each piece is perfectly marked and cut with incredible detail and consistency and to exact specifications. This level of accuracy not only results in the production of high-quality products but also helps reduce material wastage, ultimately saving manufacturers time and money in the long run.
Bridging the skills gap in the industry
CNC fabric cutting machines help fill the gap that currently exists in the UK for skilled fabric cutters. As traditional methods of fabric cutting require a high level of expertise and experience, manufacturers struggle to find skilled workers. By implementing CNC automation, manufacturers can rely on digital cutting to accurately plan and cut fabrics. This not only addresses the shortage of skilled workers, but also allows manufacturers to scale up production capacity without sacrificing quality.
Pattern matching and leather cutting
Automated fabric cutting is routinely used for cutting leather and pattern matching, tasks that require a high degree of skill, precision and attention to detail. With leather, marking the flaws on the hides, nesting and cutting are intricate and time-consuming processes. Pattern matching is another critical aspect of the industry with the ability to accurately match patterns and align fabric pieces seen as essential for creating cohesive and visually appealing products. GraphCut can handle these processes seamlessly, eliminating human error and ensuring a flawless end result.
How CNC can drive more growth to your business
The adoption of CNC technology offers numerous benefits for the upholstery industry. From improving precision and efficiency to addressing the skills gap, CNC cutters have transformed the way manufacturers operate, allowing the manufacture of high-end products more efficiently whilst maintaining quality. By leveraging the capabilities of CNC cutting along with Artificial Intelligence, upholstery manufacturers can stay ahead of the competition and meet the demands of today’s fast-paced and evolving market.
