3. FABRIC SPREADING AND CUTTING In most of the circumstances (except one-piece knitted garments), garments are assembled from several components. This is essential to establish profile/shape to the garments, to overcome the constraints of fabric width. The first step in the manufacture of garments is the cutting of the materials as the replica of pattern pieces. The cut components are then joined by means of seams to make three-dimensional garments (Aldrich 2002). 3.1 The Cutting Department The objective of the cutting department includes the cutting of garment parts accurately and economically and in sufficient volume to keep the sewing department supplied with work. The process flow in cutting department is shown in Figure 3.1. …show more content…
The entire arrangement sits on a rail mounted on both the edges of the table and the wheels are rolling over it. Similar to other rolling machines, the wheels on the far side of the machine ride on the top of the opposite edge of the table. The rolling rack is preferably used for F/O/W, N/O/W, and F/F, N/U/D spreading. This method has no tension control on fabric, hence apart from smoothing out wrinkles and aligning the fabric edges, the spreader must cautiously unroll the fabric slightly ahead of the speed that the machine is advanced. 3.3.3.6 Turntable It is another manually operated spreading machine. Similar to rolling rack, it is manually pushed down the table, and no control over fabric tension as like rolling rack. On the other hand, as the fabric roll is mounted on a rack that can easily be rotated, the turntable is ultimate for F/F, N/O/W, F/O/W and N/U/D modes of spreading. 3.3.3.7 Semi automatic rolling rack with electric eye and …show more content…
Velvet – hanging: More rarely, velvets may be delivered wound on specially constructed frames to prevent the pile becoming crushed. 3.3.5 Advancements in Spreading Damage control mark sensors – In this system, a reflective tape is normally fixed to the fabric selvedge during the fabric pre-inspection. Automatic spreading machines fitted with a sensor detect the tape as it passes through the electric edge control eye and stops the machine and allows spreader to trace the defect and remove it during the spreading process (Mehta 1992). Air Flotation Tables – The cutting tables having air jets fitted at bottom of the table facilitates moving the entire spread down the table. Vacuum Table - The vacuum is applied from the bottom of the table through small holes in the cutting table after a layer of plastic is spread over the top of entire lay to compress the lay and stabilizes it. Heavy Roll Loaders - Heavy roll loaders are used when roll weights surpass 200 lbs per roll. It has the capacity to manage rolls weighing over 1,200 lbs and these are used to lift the fabric rolls from the floor to the spreading
Such tapes were invented to turn almost any surface into a safer surface. There are many reasons why any given surface could prove to be unsafe, some of those reasons are: improper housekeeping or obstructions in the area, a smooth floor being too smooth that doesn't allow proper gripping to the floor when walking, a floor that was improperly put down and now has bumps in it.

In prior generations, clothing were designed by hand. Today, designers have computer-aided design. This software allows them to view designs of clothing on virtual models of a numerous shapes and sizes. In all it's the most efficient garment designing process. It saves companies both time and resources. 3-D printed apparel revolutionizes the experience of buying clothes for the average consumer.
they carry it flatways, it will be easily noticed by others, so, they hold it
The first thing to consider is the process of cleaning and coating of the boards. This particular process involves the set-up of the machines, the loading of the boards, and the actual cleaning and coating of the said boards by the machines.
Secondly, from years of quality control practice the firm established a well-know quality control procedure, "the Method". It has great value to the company in that it includes detail best practices for the production procedures which guarantees and improves the quality of the products. It serves as an efficient decision measure tool and a great training material.
Pallet industry has grown leaps & bounds today, automation & machineries play an important role in new pallet manufacturing & reconditioning. There are pallet stackers, pneumatically operated nail guns and numerous electric saber saws

We are able to function in the world because we know what the world is. A table is a device we can place things on; we will not float into space due to gravity. We can function and make decisions to act, but only based on our knowledge of what consequences of that action will likely be, and knowledge of what things are and are not.
The strengths of the book come from its’ accessibility. The book is easy to follow and provides readers with a great deal of information about the production of mass-manufactured clothing. As well as brings awareness to its’ many issues which we inadvertently take part in when we purchase such products. The book is well written and thoroughly researched but does have its’ share of weaknesses.

...irplane that the inspector can navigate through via voice commands to mark a region of the airplane that is in need of service. Once identified, the application tags the area for transmission to the maintenance database and initiates the proper form for the inspector to fill out. The form is completed and then transmitted to the same maintenance database. When the inspector has identified all of the problems with a particular region, voice navigation is used to continue to other areas of the aircraft. The inspector is not required to take any information about the aircraft, previous defect records, clipboards, paper, etc. with them, everything required to perform the inspection is on-line and displayed in a manageable fashion in real time during the inspection. When the inspector completes the inspection, no further input is required. The inspector is not required to take notes and then pass them off to someone else to decipher and input to the system. The information is already in the maintenance database and ready for verification, planning, and scheduling.

... sort, and the downstairs tertiary. An exact copy of the ramp and tertiary layout has been provided to allow for a better feel for the size of the operation, please see the next two pages. Each copy has been clearly labeled for easy identification. The layouts clearly relate to the process choice in terms of having no easy flexibility due to sequence of job functions. The layout of the upstairs is too complicated due to being congested with several areas, each with a multitude of belts and slides. I will verbally explain it though. From the unloads, the material is sent upstairs to either the north or south primary, where there is a five-way split into a specific secondary. Out of each secondary there is also a five-way split to the downstairs tertiary. Finally, from the tertiary, the material is reloaded and sent out to the aircraft in containers. [5]
From 2005 the textile segment has been made up of 2 companies, transforming raw materials into fabrics, from spinning to finishing and ennobling. Handicraft product quality and technological research development characterize this business segment which works with internationally recognized names of the apparel and fashion industry.
