Lectra Vector TT FX Vacuum Cutting Table: The conveyor-fed Vector FX stack-cuts up to 2.5 cm and runs on optimizing software to minimize material waste. It uses reciprocating and drag knives and is dust-protected for dry carbon fibers.
Die Cutter: Stack-cuts most textile dies up to 36"x17".
Heavy-Duty Industrial Sewing Machines: A range of machines handle most industrial stitch types, including locking (straight), double-straight, zigzag, and overlocking (surging/overcast) with chain stitches.
Electric Hand Cutting Tools: Rotary and up/down hand cutting tools assist with smaller runs without digitized patterns.
Lead times depend on volume, complexity, and material sourcing. Smaller projects can be turned around in as little as 2-4 weeks. We can usually accommodate rush projects, but request planned orders be placed as early as possible.
