ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for marking and cutting a flexible web that can be supplied from a supply roll of material onto a generally flat working surface or bed to a take-up roll. While the present invention is particularly adapted for marking and cutting fabric, such as may be used to manufacture upholstered furniture, such as couches, love seats, chairs and the like, the invention may also be used to mark and cut almost any flexible web, and particularly any web that is susceptible of experiencing dimensional distortion, such as bowing, skewing or stretching in unusual directions. The apparatus utilizes computer control and video imaging to identify design features and to locate them relative to pieces so that the item of furniture has design features at the desired locations.
