Abstract (en)

A leather cutting system 10 comprising seven CNC leather cutting tables 12, a first computer hard drive 14, a second computer hard drive 16, and a computer 18 comprising a third hard drive 19 and a microprocessor forming a sequencing engine 20. The first hard drive 14 has a production order database file stored therein, containing hide area, piece pattern template file names and locations, and a set of model specific cut sequence rules for each of a plurality of models. The second hard drive 16 has a plurality of piece pattern template files stored therein. The third hard drive 19 has a set of computer readable instructions stored therein for causing the microprocessor to perform a method for optimising hide usage in leather cutting processes. A method for optimising hide usage in leather cutting processes is also provided.
