GraphCut Elite CNC Cutter

VetiGraph’s GraphCut range of single-ply CNC fabric cutters delivers the highest level of cutting accuracy for technical textiles, fashion and apparel manufacturers, upholstery producers, and composites fabricators across the UK. Whether you’re cutting Kevlar, carbon fibre, leather, or fine woven fabric, this CNC fabric cutter for technical textiles is engineered to handle it precisely, repeatedly, and at a fraction of the cost of comparable systems.

These are heavy-duty industrial fabric cutting machines, built to run all day, seven days a week, in production environments that demand accuracy without compromise: technical cutting rooms and manufacturing lines where every millimetre matters. Available with static flatbed or conveyorised cutting beds, and with an industry-leading dual-head option that cuts your production time by up to 40%.

Every GraphCut automatic cloth cutting machine is backed by a comprehensive warranty and UK-based service and support from VetiGraph’s teams in Leicester, with support costs at a fraction of what you’d pay with other suppliers.

Cost-Effective, High-Performance CNC Fabric Cutting Solutions

The GraphCut single-ply CNC fabric cutter is ideal for cutting single or low-ply material, offering the highest level of accuracy available in this class of machine. Both the static flatbed CNC fabric cutting machine and the conveyorised fabric cutting machine configurations are available, giving your cutting room the flexibility to handle roll-fed fabric or fixed sheets without compromising throughput. Both systems are user-friendly, accommodate a full range of cutting tools, minimise fabric waste, and cut to a consistently high quality while significantly reducing the operational costs typical of automated fabric cutting equipment.

Standard features across the GraphCut single-ply range:

  • Choice of static flatbed or dynamic conveyorised cutting bed: for continuous, uninterrupted cutting from the roll
  • Multi-tool cutting head, specified to your cutting requirements: Drag Knife, Driven Round Knife, Electric Oscillating Knife, Servo Assisted Oscillating Knife, Pneumatic Oscillating Knife
  • Additional tooling options: Pen Holder, Drill/Punch, Notch Tool, Ink-Jet Printhead for marking, perforating and printing in a single pass
  • Vacuum hold-down system: this fabric cutter with vacuum bed keeps material flat and secure throughout the cut, critical for technical textiles and lightweight fabrics
  • Cuts multiple layers up to 25mm: true low-ply capability for short-run efficiency
  • Dual-head option: the dual-head CNC fabric cutter runs two independent cutting heads on one bridge, reducing cutting time by up to 40% on suitable workloads
  • Fast interchangeable tools: minimise setup time and keep production moving
  • File format compatibility: DXF, HPGL and CUT: works with all major CAD pattern cutting software
GraphCut Elite CNC Cutter

High-Precision Cutting. Unbeatable Efficiency.

The choice between a single-ply and a multi-ply CNC fabric cutter comes down to three factors: your production volume, your material type, and your required cut quality.

Choose a single-ply CNC fabric cutter if you:

  • Cut technical materials where multi-ply stacking is not possible
  • Produce bespoke or short-run work across fashion and upholstery, where flexibility matters more than sheer volume
  • Need to cut intricate patterns in leather or delicate fabrics where layer-to-layer accuracy is critical
  • Have limited cutting room space; single-ply machines are significantly more compact than multi-ply systems
  • Work with a wide variety of material types across a single production shift

Choose a multi-ply CNC fabric cutter if you:

  • Run high-volume production of the same pattern across standardised fabrics
  • Need to cut more than 25mm of material height in a single pass
  • Are optimising for throughput above all other considerations

Not sure which suits your business? Contact our team; we’ve been helping UK manufacturers choose the right cutting solution since 1984.

Why Choose VetiGraph for Your Single-Ply CNC Fabric Cutter?

VetiGraph has been supplying CNC cutting solutions to UK manufacturers since 1984. In that time, we’ve built a reputation for technical depth, honest advice, and support that doesn’t disappear after the sale. Here’s what sets us apart:

Unrivalled Technical Textile Coverage

The GraphCut range cuts your full material list- Kevlar, Dyneema, Mylar, Dacron, carbon fibre, glass fibre, cashmere, and silk- on one machine, all driven by VetiGraph’s own integrated CAD and nesting software.

Industry-Leading Dual-Head Option

Our dual-head configuration runs two independent cutting heads on a single bridge, doubling output from the same footprint. On compatible workloads, it delivers up to a 40% reduction in cutting time, so you scale throughput without scaling your cutting room.

Pattern Matching for Patterned Fabrics

Our pattern matching system digitally captures your fabric motif and creates relationships between each cut piece. The nesting software then automatically aligns and nests patterns to maximum yield, eliminating the most labour-intensive part of working with patterned materials.

UK-Based Service At a Fraction of Competitor Costs

Our UK service teams in Leicester provide on-site support, installation, and training. Our support costs are a fraction of what you’d pay with the major European and US suppliers, and our engineers know your machine and your industry.

Frequently Asked Questions: Single-Ply CNC Fabric Cutters

What is a single-ply CNC fabric cutter and what is it used for?
A single-ply CNC fabric cutter is an automated cutting machine that uses computer-controlled movement to cut one layer (or a low number of layers) of fabric, leather, or technical material at a time. It is used in fashion, upholstery production, composites manufacturing, and any cutting room that requires high precision on intricate shapes, particularly where materials cannot be stacked in multiple layers.
What materials can GraphCut single-ply CNC fabric cutters cut?
The GraphCut range cuts an exceptionally wide range of materials including Kevlar, Dyneema, carbon fibre, glass fibre, Mylar, Dacron, Nylon, cotton, polyester, silk, cashmere, leather, rubber, canvas, and damask as well as PVC, composites, and most technical textiles. It is not suitable for rigid carbon fibre boards or sheets.
What is the difference between a static flatbed and a conveyorised CNC fabric cutter?
A static flatbed CNC fabric cutting machine has a fixed cutting surface; material is placed on the bed, cut, then removed manually. A conveyorised machine feeds material continuously from a roll, enabling non-stop cutting runs and significantly higher throughput. The GraphCut range is available in both configurations, and the conveyor model can also be used with a fabric feeder and carousel for fully automated material handling.
What does the dual-head option do, and when should I specify it?
The dual-head option fits two independent cutting heads onto a single bridge. Both heads cut simultaneously, reducing total cutting time by up to 40% on suitable workloads. It’s the ideal choice for production rooms cutting high volumes of the same pattern or needing to maximise throughput without doubling floor space.
How does a single-ply fabric cutter differ from a multi-ply cutter?
This single-ply vs multi-ply fabric cutter question comes down to volume: a single-ply cutter cuts one or a few layers at a time with the highest accuracy, ideal for technical materials, bespoke work across fashion and upholstery, and precision work. A multi-ply cutter cuts many layers simultaneously for high-volume production of standard fabrics. VetiGraph supplies both: see our Multi-Ply CNC Fabric Cutters page for details.
What cutting widths and sizes are available?
This single-ply CNC fabric cutter is available in the UK in nine configurations, from a cutting window of 1,600mm × 1,500mm (machine code 1516) up to 3,000mm × 3,000mm (3030). Please see the ‘Will It Fit?’ table above for full footprint dimensions for each model size.
Is a GraphCut single-ply CNC cutter compatible with my existing CAD software?
Yes. This automatic fabric cutting machine, available across the UK, accepts DXF, HPGL, and CUT file formats compatible with all major CAD pattern cutting software. VetiGraph also supplies its own pattern cutting, grading, and nesting software if you need a complete integrated solution.
Does the GraphCut range use a vacuum bed?
Yes. Every GraphCut is a fabric cutter with a vacuum bed hold-down, keeping material flat and secure throughout the cut, critical for lightweight and technical textiles.
