ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for cutting limp sheet material comprises a computer-positioned fluid jet cutting tool supported for movement above and relative to a bed of vertically elongated upwardly projecting members which have pointed free upper ends disposed in a generally common plane to define a fluid permeable sheet material supporting surface. The bed has fluid passageways therethrough which communicate with a fluid collection chamber therebelow. Vacuum apparatus independent of the fluid collection chamber is provided for normalizing or compressing a lay-up of limp sheet material resting on the supporting surface so that the individual sheets which comprise the lay-up collectively assume the characteristics of a rigid solid mass.
