Abstract :Same type fabric and same cutting plan can be cut in different methods by using computer aided fabric cutting systems. This is possible with changing the parameters inside the program which is operating the cutter. In this research; the effects of cutting parameters on the cutting quality and the cutting duration were analyzed. In this study, six different cutting having different models and fabric characteristics were examined. During the study; it was seen that same parameters can sometimes be used while cutting of different fabric types; but change in the parameters is required generally according to fabric, model, marker plan and spreading. Especially, while determining vacuum intensity that will be applied to the cutting of the different type fabrics, fabric air permeability were measured and the correlation between fabric air permeability, spreading height and the vacuum intensity that will be applied were presented. Fabric type, marker plan, spreading height and clothing model characteristics are determinative elements for determining cutting parameters. Cutting efficiency and quality can be increased and possible defects can be prevented with changing the cutting parameters by the operator.
