Automated Fabric Cutting Machines for Apparel, Upholstery & Technical Textiles

Manual fabric cutting limits your production speed, consistency and material utilization when you need to deliver high-quality garments, upholstery and technical textiles.​
Shilai automated fabric cutting machines combine CNC oscillating knife technology, intelligent nesting and auto-feed conveyors to cut woven, knitted and technical fabrics accurately and efficiently.​​
Whether you are producing apparel, furniture upholstery, automotive interiors or industrial textiles, our digital fabric cutters help you increase output, reduce fabric waste and lower dependence on manual cutting.​
Share your fabric types, layer thickness and production goals, and our team will configure a fabric cutting solution tailored to your cutting room.

Shilai offers fabric cutting machine models with different working areas, tool combinations and feeding systems to match apparel, upholstery and technical textile applications.​
Each model uses CNC knife cutting and optional conveyor feeding to support efficient, accurate cutting from single-ply to low-ply fabrics.

An automated fabric cutting machine is a computer-controlled cutting system that uses oscillating knife, drag knife or rotary knife tools to cut fabrics according to digital patterns instead of paper markers and manual cutting.​
The machine reads CAD files, automatically positions patterns and drives the blade to cut complex shapes with consistent accuracy across single-ply or low-ply fabric layers.​
Compared with manual cutting, automated fabric cutters improve cutting precision, reduce fabric waste and support faster style changes in modern apparel and textile production.​

Fabric materials you can cut

• Apparel fabrics: woven, knitted, denim, sportswear fabrics and lining materials.​
• Upholstery & home textiles: sofa fabrics, curtain fabrics, mattress ticking and home decor textiles.​
• Technical textiles: PVC-coated fabrics, canvas, mesh, soft composites and industrial fabrics.

• Clean, precise cutting without burning: oscillating knife cutting avoids burnt edges and smoke that can occur with laser cutting, preserving fabric hand feel and color.​​
• Higher fabric yield: intelligent nesting software optimizes pattern layout on each spread or roll to reduce offcuts and fabric waste.​
• Faster production and fewer errors: automated cutting eliminates many manual marking and cutting steps, improving speed and consistency across orders.​
• Flexible for multiple styles and fabrics: dieless cutting lets you switch quickly between styles, sizes and fabrics without new tools.​
• Better working environment: no smoke, less noise and reduced operator fatigue compared with manual cutting or laser cutting.

• Oscillating knife cutting heads for woven, knitted and technical fabrics, with optional drag and rotary knives for specific materials.​
• Auto-feed conveyor table to cut directly from fabric rolls for continuous production.​​
• Vacuum hold-down system to stabilize fabrics and maintain cutting accuracy.​
• Intelligent nesting and CAD integration to support apparel and textile workflows
