Laboratory for CAD/CAM systems in clothing enginnering

Computer CNC automatic cutting machines PROSPIN FASHION 72 and VERSALIS, manufactured by Lectra Systems, are installed in the laboratory. The aggregates are intended for cutting one layer of textile material, and can also be used for cutting individual cutting parts or complete cutting pattern from paper or stencils, and as such are adapted for making prototypes or smaller series of garments.

Each unit consists of a cutting table with a vacuum base that prevents the textile material from slipping and ensures precise cutting of the cutting parts, movable heads with cutting tools, control consoles and computers with the corresponding software package. The movable tool head contains two circular knives, a larger one for cutting out external contours and a smaller one for cutting notches on cutting parts, a drill for drilling and marking internal marks on cutting parts, a pencil for marking marks or drawing cut pictures on paper and a laser light for detection of cutting patterns dimensions.

The automatic cutting machines are used within the teaching process and for the needs of scientific research at the Department of Clothing Technology, as well as doctoral students.
