The effect of different types of cut markers on the utilization of textile materials

Abstract

The largest percentage of the costs of making clothes belongs to the textile material from which the clothes are made. The essential process in making clothes is the process of cutting the clothes. Before cutting, the cutting pieces and their positions are placed in the cutting marker closer to each other, which will achieve a minimum consumption of the fabric. This paper aims to show the effect of different types of cutting markers on the utilization of textile materials. Emphasis is made on fitting fewer and more sizes in one cutting marker, all in order to practically prove that the type of cutting marker significantly affects the consumption of the textile material from which the clothes are made. In the experimental part, two different orders are shown, with two different models of women’s trousers, but equal size representation and identical fabric. A comparative analysis was made between the efficiency of cut markers with fewer and more sizes contained in the cut marker. The obtained results give a direct conclusion that different types of cutting markers can significantly affect the consumption of textile material, that is, that, using cutting marker in which pieces of more sizes are integrated into one cut marker, the consumption of textile material is significantly reduced.
