Knitted Garments can be cutted in two forms. One is inTubular and another is Openwidth (for Printed fabric) form.
The tubular again can be classifeid as cutting as tubular body and another is with Side Seam.
The diameter of the fabric is planned according to the volume, size mainly.
Wider Dia generally used for low quantity per size per style. Since the volume is less practically we can not process many dia which will increasethe cost and preparations.
For volume garments per SIZE per STYLE it is always better to choose the right dia to save the fabric which is the MAJOR investment of the entire Garment Making.
In case the garment is printed then we have the option of Openwidth to avoid the folding waste, get the good repeat along the width to avoid handling much bigger dia fabric.
Apart from this if we look into the best cutting system is Manual cutting. But it is less productive and needs more people which will not give the consistency of Quality.
Now, Widely Hosiery Industry are using Manual cutting for Pattern matching, Cut Wash and Cut again.
Then Lay cutting is now more popular but the consumption per Garment is also more and needs more people, space and ends up with lot of wastage. If the numbers of lay increased then the size of bottom pieces gets variations compare to the top layer peices.
The industry giving allowance while using suction method both in width and length.
This method become popular just because of the virtual flexibility (one can plan according to the fabric available. But practically, it is not for production and only for samples or shortage)efficiency in the Monitor and for few calcualtions to decide the fabric usage. But in real it is not so.
Just a simple logic and practical example.
- In multiple laying of fabric it is not possible to align the fabric on both the edges or folds. So we have to plan only one fold and that is only possible to utilise with half pattern as Garment.
- While making lay we have to fold or cut at the end of the lay in length. Here we loosing at least half an inch on both the ends to ensure our shape.
- So in 3 sides of the lay we are wasting the fabric and how can the efficiency will increase?
- Also due to heavy suction it is not possible to use the common cut in all the places and hence loosing the fabric which is called technical waste.
Where as in tubular cutting we are utilising on both the folds and in continuous cutting we are saving the end waste.
- How it is possible?
- As Length is the Limitation for best efficiency with repeats then, how it is possible to avoid the edge waste?
- How it is poosible to have common cut in all the places?
