Leather nesting and cutting solution

Pathfinder’s leather processing solutions offer maximum hide utilization, high cut quality, and productivity for apparel, furniture, sports gear, luggage, transport, and equestrian industries.

Leather cutting solution

Leather Nesting Station PathWorks® incorporated within the system is a powerful tool for automatically digitising the hide’s perimeter and identifying various grades of quality within the hide.

Optimised Yield and Quality – Operators can take full control of piece placement and choose manual piece placement, automatic nesting or a combination of both.

Multiple Hide Nesting – Often, multiple hides are required to complete a job. PathWorks® advanced nesting algorithms enable simultaneous nesting across multiple hides further optimising material yield.

Automated Leather Cutting – Pathfinder’s full range of automatic cutting systems seamlessly integrate with the Leather Nesting Station.

Flexibility is particularly important as manufacturers cutting leather often process other materials. With Pathfinder, you have the flexibility to choose the best cutting solution to meet your needs.

You can choose a cutting solution dedicated to leather or a machine that can process a variety of materials including leather, fabrics, foams, non-woven, etc.
