The cutting process of hooded sweatshirt has a vital impact on the quality, cost and production efficiency of the product, and optimizing the cutting process to improve the utilization rate of fabric is the goal pursued by many clothing companies.
First of all, accurate pattern design is the basis for optimizing the cutting process. When designing the pattern of hooded sweatshirt, it is necessary to fully consider the principles of ergonomics to ensure the fit and comfort of the clothing. Through the analysis and research of a large amount of human body data, a pattern paper that fits the human body curve better is drawn. For example, for the shape and size of the hood, it is necessary to design according to the range of motion and proportion of the head to avoid waste of fabric caused by being too large or too small. At the same time, in the design of the body, sleeves and other parts, unnecessary splicing and wrinkles are reasonably reduced to make the pattern more concise and smooth, so that the fabric can be used more effectively during cutting.
Secondly, use advanced cutting technology and equipment. The application of computer-aided design and cutting (CAD/CAM) system can greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of cutting. Digital design and optimization of the pattern through CAD software can quickly and accurately calculate the amount of fabric used and generate the best cutting plan. CAM cutting equipment can accurately cut fabrics according to design instructions, reducing fabric loss caused by human errors. For example, laser cutting technology can achieve high-precision, contactless cutting, especially for some complex shapes or patterns, and can minimize the waste of fabric edges.
In addition, rationally plan the layout and cutting order of fabrics. Before cutting, scientifically layout the fabrics according to the shapes and sizes of the various parts of the hooded sweatshirt. Try to arrange parts with similar or complementary shapes closely together to reduce the gap between fabrics. At the same time, consider the texture and directionality of the fabric to ensure that the cut garments achieve the best effect in appearance and texture. In terms of cutting order, cut large parts first, and then use the remaining fabric to cut small parts, such as pockets, cuffs, etc., to improve the overall utilization of fabrics. For example, for some fabrics with patterns or prints, through clever layout, the pattern can be made more beautiful and coordinated on the garment, while avoiding fabric waste caused by improper pattern position.
Finally, strengthen the quality control and management of the cutting process. Establish strict cutting standards and operating specifications, provide professional training for cutting workers, and improve their skills and quality awareness. Regularly check the accuracy and performance of cutting equipment, and perform maintenance and adjustments in a timely manner. During the cutting process, record and analyze the use of each batch of fabric in detail, summarize experience and lessons, and continuously improve the cutting process. Through these measures, not only can the fabric utilization rate be improved, but also the cutting quality of Hooded sweatshirts can be guaranteed to be stable, the overall competitiveness of the product can be improved, and the market demand for high-quality, low-cost clothing can be met.
