Atlanta, GA, June 6, 2006  – Lectra, the world leader in software, CAD/CAM equipment and related services dedicated to users of textiles, leather and industrial fabrics, recently introduced the ProSpinTechTexST, its new single-ply cutting solution dedicated to prototyping and small series production.

Lectra’s ProSpinTechTexST has been developed to meet the needs and overcome the constraints of users of industrial fabrics. The ProSpinTechTexST’s innovative technology provides the highest cutting quality level ever achieved by single-ply systems due to the new oscillating blade and enhancements in the cutting of intricate curves and complex shapes. This characteristic, combined with a compartment vacuum system, ensures high productivity through rapid, accurate cutting, regardless of the shape of pieces to be cut. 

With highly varied profiles, companies employing industrial fabrics share a common quest for material cutting accuracy and ongoing improvements in the quality of their production. In an environment that dictates ever-tighter deadlines and in which cost control are major strategic issues, the optimization of material consumption and the reliability of manufacturing processes have become essential.

The ProSpinTechTexST enables manufacturers to achieve significantly shorter production times. This flexible, versatile cutter is designed for small and medium diversified production runs, and adapts perfectly to all working environments. Combined with DiaminoTechTex, Lectra’s marker-making software, the ProSpinTechTexST provides substantial material savings.

“ProSpinTechTexST demonstrates Lectra’s commitment to providing high technology solutions to our industrial manufacturing customers,” commented Greg Sumners, Senior Vice-President of Sales for Lectra North America. “We are focused on creating technology that offers quality at an optimized cost as well as added value through increased productivity.
