Cutting printed fabric is different from cutting other fabric materials. The patterns on the fabric need to be recognized and followed precisely. That’s where Large Vision Cutting Software comes in.
This guide covers how the software works, material preparation, required hardware, knife options, and machine configuration.
How It Works
Camera captures the material – The system takes a photo of the fabric.
Recognizes the pattern – The software identifies the printed design or black contour lines.
Cuts along the edge – The cutting tool follows the detected outline precisely.
No manual tracing is needed – the vision system does the alignment automatically.
Material Requirements (Critical!)
For the software to recognize the pattern correctly, the printed fabric must be prepared with black contour lines:
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Black contour width | 5 – 6 mm |
| Gap between two patterns | 2 cm (20 mm) |
⚠️ If the black lines are too thin or the gap is too small, the camera may not detect the edges accurately.
Required Hardware
Component Function
Camera(s) Capture the black contour edges on the printed fabric.
The number and positioning of cameras depend on the width of your cutting machine.
Cutting Tools for Different Fabrics
Not all fabrics are the same. Choose the right tool based on breathability:
Tool Selection Guide
| Tool | Best for | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Round knife | Breathable fabrics | Clean, friction‑free cut |
| Oscillating knife | Non‑breathable fabrics | Handles resistance better |
Machine Type: Feeding Machine
For printed fabric rolls, a feeding machine is recommended.
The machine automatically feeds the material for continuous cutting.
Machine dimensions can be customized based on your fabric width and roll size.
Extra Feature: Text Extraction
The large vision software also supports text extraction – useful for fabrics with printed letters, logos, or labels. The system can identify and cut around text elements.
Key Considerations
Black contour printing – Always use 5–6mm wide black outlines with 2cm gaps.
Camera setup – Confirm camera height and quantity with your technical supplier.
Tool selection – Round knife for breathable fabric, oscillating knife for non‑breathable.
Machine size – Customizable; larger widths may need multiple cameras.
Summary Table
| Item | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Software | Large vision cutting software |
| Material prep | 5–6mm black contour, 2cm gap |
| Hardware | Camera(s) |
| Breathable fabric | Round knife + feeding machine |
| Non‑breathable fabric | Oscillating knife + feeding machine |
| Extra capability | Text extraction |
Conclusion
Large vision cutting software takes the guesswork out of cutting printed fabrics. With proper black contour preparation, the right camera setup, and a tool matched to your fabric type, you can achieve clean, accurate cuts automatically.
