How to Choose CNC Fabric Cutting Machine for Upholstered Sofa

The modern-day sofa manufacturing industry is undergoing a transformation, largely propelled by the growing trend of customization. While customization offers an array of opportunities, it also presents a set of unique challenges that traditional manual cutting processes are ill-equipped to solve.

Traditional sofa production has the characteristics of a single style and mass production, so many sofa factories choose multi-layer fabric cutting machine or artificial multi-layer cutting mode to achieve efficient production of sofa. As buyers pay more and more attention to the personalized selection of sofa style, color matching, and size, the traditional sofa production mode can not meet the customized consumption demand of customers.

Problems with Traditional Sofa Cutting Methods:

1. Labor Issues
   Difficulty in Recruiting Skilled Cutters: Skilled labor is increasingly scarce and expensive.
   High Turnover Rates: Managing human resources becomes challenging due to high attrition rates.
2. Quality Concerns
   Inconsistent Cuts: Manual cutting often results in irregularities, leading to high defect rates.
3. Extended Production Cycles
   Long Lead Times: The surge in customized orders elongates production cycles.
4. Material Wastage
   Inefficient Use of Fabrics: Traditional methods often result in significant material wastage.
5. Complexity in Sofa Designs
   Intricate Cuts: The numerous parts and complex designs make manual cutting increasingly impractical.
6. Lack of Flexibility
   Limited Scalability: Traditional cutting methods lack the agility to adapt to varying sofa sizes and styles.

As the market leans towards customization, sofa factories face mounting challenges, many of which traditional cutting methods fail to address. AMOR’s Automated Sofa Cutting Systems deliver intelligent, flexible, and efficient solutions tailored for the customization era.
