    Before Cutting….
    Material storage and inspections are done before cutting fabric. Many
    stores has firm storage systems that minimize jamming of fabric lots &
    rolls.

    Fabric inspection is done to have proper understanding of the material


    and raise any claims related to failed or fault material.

    The most common fabric inspection method used today is 4-point


    system.
    What you get from fabric inspection
    Normally following details are provided by fabric inspections
    department.

    1. 100% fabric width & Length


    2. 10% fabric inspection report ; GSM report
    3. 100% fabric shrinkage report for wash garments
    4. Residual shrinkage report for non wash garments
    5. Shade wise fabric allocation
    Lay planning and marker making
    • When cutting room receive all the details , it can start cutting of the
    Fabrics. Following documents / guidelines are necessary to start
    cutting process.

    • Factory production plan


    • Factory line wise feeding plan
    Fabric
    Spreading
    Fabric plies are spread on a table as
    it meets the demands of the
    marker.
    This can be done using manual
    workers or automatic spreaders.
    Manual
    spreading
    • In manual spreading , two
    workers grab the fabric sitting in
    opposite sides of a lay table and
    move from one end to the other.
    Automatic
    spreading
    • An automatic spreader supports
    carry fabric in roll form or bale
    form and assist in even
    spreading.
    The fabric cutting process
    Fabric cutting is basically done in two methods

    1. Manual cutting
    2. Automatic cutting
    Manual cutting
    • Usually, manual cutting is done using straight knives or band knives.
    Automated
    cutting
    • Automatic cutting is done using
    CNC cutting machines that makes
    the cutting process easier.
    Fusing cut
    components
    • Fusing is a method that use a
    thermoplastic resin to adhere
    low-cost materials ( nonwoven )
    to cut pieces.
    Fusings provide stiffness , reduces
    elongation and can be used to
    provide number of good properties
    to fabric.

    Fabric Shrinkage

    The widthwise and lengthwise shrinking of fabric is called as fabric shrinkage.

    There are two methods to evaluate this

    1. Residual shrinkage
    2. Wash shrinkage
    Fabric specification ( FDS )
    Fabric face side /
    Hanger

    • Fabric face side is usually provided by


    the fabric inspection department to
    cutting department .
    • A panel attached to a cardboard is
    provided to cutting department with
    authorized signature.
    End cutters
    • End cutters are used to cut away
    the fabric ply from the fabric roll.
    There are manual , semi automatic
    and fully automatic end cutters.
