Return To List

In the apparel manufacturing industry, Sewfree technology is rapidly emerging as a new favorite thanks to its unique advantages. From comfortable seamless underwear to performance-enhancing sportswear, and from weather-resistant jackets to breathable quick-dry T-shirts, Sewfree applications are becoming increasingly widespread—winning the favor of global consumers.

Sewfree

Consumers favor Sewfree garments primarily for their exceptional wearing experience. The seamless design eliminates the friction and discomfort caused by traditional stitches, allowing greater freedom of movement during daily wear or intense activities. It also enhances the garment’s overall aesthetics with smooth, minimalist lines that exude modern style. Moreover, the Sewfree structure improves durability by reducing seam wear and tear, extending the garment’s lifespan.

However, in the front-end cutting process of Sewfree production, hot melt adhesive film cutting has become a major challenge for many manufacturers. Limited by traditional cutting technologies, numerous factories struggle with low cutting efficiency and serious material waste. Although laser cutting machines are sometimes used, their inherent laser characteristics allow cutting only one layer per pass. For enterprises focused on mass production and fast delivery, this single-layer cutting mode significantly restricts lead times and undermines market competitiveness.

Sewfree

Against this backdrop, GBOS, backed by deep technical expertise and a spirit of innovation, launched the VC9-1612 Intelligent Oscillating Knife Cutting System — a digital blade cutting solution specifically designed for hot melt adhesive film cutting. This system delivers a perfect solution for multi-layer hot melt film cutting, redefining efficiency and precision in Sewfree manufacturing.

01 Multi-layer Hot Melt Film Cutting — A Leap in Efficiency

The VC9-1612 Intelligent Oscillating Knife Cutting System offers powerful multi-layer cutting capabilities, enabling simultaneous cutting of up to 12 layers of hot melt adhesive film in a single pass. Compared with the single-layer cutting mode of traditional laser machines, it significantly increases throughput within the same time frame, achieving a quantum leap in production efficiency. Moreover, the cut edges are smooth and clean, perfectly meeting the seamless bonding requirements of high-density smooth fabrics, ensuring superior garment quality.

02 Say Goodbye to Cutting Misalignment — Enjoy Worry-free Precision Positioning

In traditional apparel manufacturing, manual alignment and marking were indispensable steps — yet time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, often compromising garment quality and consistency. The VC9-1612 eliminates these challenges by performing multiple processes independently without the need for multiple machines, making it adaptable to various production categories. It is equipped with projection positioning, an optional pen plotting device, and an intelligent nesting system, ensuring precise alignment, material efficiency, and seamless workflow integration.

The projection positioning system accurately projects designs onto the material, enabling fast and precise alignment. The optional pen plotting device assists in marking, providing accurate guidance for the next process. Meanwhile, the intelligent material-saving nesting system automatically optimizes layouts based on the material’s size and shape, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

In terms of production capacity, the highly efficient multi-layer cutting capability enables manufacturers to complete more tasks in less time, meeting the rapidly growing market demand for Sewfree garments.

In terms of quality control, precise positioning and cutting ensure consistent garment quality, reduce defect rates, and enhance brand reputation.

In terms of cost control, the intelligent material-saving nesting system effectively reduces material waste, improves equipment utilization, and lowers overall production costs.

For outdoor jacket manufacturers, the optimized production process enhances efficiency, ensures product quality, and reduces production costs, giving companies a competitive edge in a highly challenging market.

With the support of the VC9-1612, Sewfree garments are set to shine even brighter in the market, offering consumers more high-quality and comfortable wearing options.

  • White and light-colored apparel remains a timeless choice in the fashion industry, valued for its clean look and versatility across work and casual settings, reflecting today’s preference for simple, quality living. Behind this “pure aesthetic,” however, lies a long-standing cutting challenge for manufacturers: preserving the fabric’s original beauty while ensuring production efficiency and precision. 01 White Fabric Cutting: A Seemingly Simple but Highly Demanding Challenge In the business world, real pain points are often hidden within needs that appear simple at first glance. Consumers expect white apparel to be clean and flawless, breathable and comfortable, and durable down to the finest details—but meeting all three expectations at once is a real challenge for manufacturers. Natural cotton, linen, and eco-friendly specialty fabrics offer excellent breathability and comfort, yet they are extremely difficult to cut. Traditional laser cutting generates high heat that can cause yellowing, darkening, or scorching along the edges—an almost “fatal flaw” for white fabrics. The result is either scrapped material or compromised brand reputation, driving up waste and production costs. At the same time, modern garment features such as seamless pockets and waterproof bonding tapes require highly precise cutting to ensure quality. Inaccurate cuts from traditional methods often lead...

  • The true refinement of automotive interiors is often hidden in the details you don’t immediately see. From a single piece of plastic raw material to a contoured trim part that fits seamlessly into the cabin, the precision and efficiency of the cutting process directly define the upper limit of product quality—and ultimately shape a manufacturer’s core competitiveness. 01 The Dual Challenge of Cutting Complex Automotive Interior Components As you sit inside a vehicle and run your fingers along the smooth curves of the center console or the precisely cut openings on the door panels, you probably don’t stop to think about how these complex, contoured parts are produced with such consistency. For automotive component manufacturers, however, achieving this level of precision has long been a hidden pain point in production. Traditional stamping dies are bulky and costly to change over, making them ill-suited for customized or irregularly shaped interior parts. Manual trimming, on the other hand, relies heavily on operator experience, often resulting in inconsistent accuracy, excessive burrs, and additional finishing processes that consume time, labor, and may even compromise part precision. As a result, the machining of complex interior parts is often trapped in a dilemma between low efficiency...
