What to expect
CAD
Pathworks® allows manufacturer’s using Technical Textiles to easily digitise patterns, automatically create nested markers, generate plotter/cutter outputs and collaborate with colleagues around the world.
CUTTING
Pathfinder conveyorised cutters offer high precision cutting in Low-Ply (L-series) and Multi-Ply (M-Series) configurations with a cutting width ranging from 1800mm (71inches) to 3900mm (153 inches).
SPREADING
Pathfinder offers a range of tension-free, fully or semi-automated material spreading solutions for woven and knitted fabrics. When coupled with one or more conveyorised spreading tables manufacturers have limitless production capabilities.
PAPER
Unique to Pathfinder, the Punchline machine is designed for use by manufacturers utilising Pathfinder automatic knife cutting technology. Perforated paper is often required as an underlay for stabilising material and transfer of spread materials.

What our customers say
The machine is magnificently engineered and outstanding in its performance. Management and Staff all agree that the investment in Pathfinder was a wise choice!
Six years ago we realised that we could not continue as we were and grow our business.
We reseached and investigated various computerised cutting machines. In our opinion Pathfinder came out streets ahead of anything else
Both the company and its cutter convinced us right away and we decided to replace one of our machines with a Pathfinder. Since then, the cutter has been working without any problems at an average of 8-10 hours a day.
The machine is almost indestructible, with very little time delay in repairs or maintenance required and is an integral part of our manufacturing process.
