Shanghai Commercial Good Company, a trailblazer with over 20 years in the manufacturing and supply sector, has recently enhanced its production processes with a refined approach to cutting neoprene into panels. This advancement is a significant step towards achieving even higher standards of quality and efficiency in its product assembly.
The purpose of this meticulous neoprene cutting process is to transform neoprene sheets into precisely sized panels, aligning with wader design patterns. This precision is crucial for accurate and efficient assembly of the final products.
The procedure begins with rigorous material inspection. Incoming neoprene sheets are carefully examined for thickness consistency, typically falling within the 3mm - 5mm range for waders. Surface defects, discoloration, and pinholes are checked, and it's ensured that the backing fabric, whether nylon or poly jersey, is firmly laminated.
Next comes pattern layout, where CAD pattern layouts are loaded into the CNC cutter or manual templates are prepared. The patterns are strategically positioned to optimize yield and minimize waste, with careful attention given to aligning the stretch direction of the two - way stretch neoprene appropriately.
The cutting process offers two methods. For precision and batch efficiency, CNC cutting is preferred. Neoprene sheets are placed on a vacuum table, and an automated blade or oscillating knife cuts according to the CAD layout. For prototyping or small runs, manual cutting is an option, using an industrial rotary knife or hot knife to prevent edge fraying.
After cutting, a thorough labeling and sorting process takes place. Each panel is marked with size and part identifiers, grouped into full sets for each wader unit, and any defective or off - size cuts are sorted for trimming or disposal.
Finally, before assembly, the cut panels are stored flat to avoid curling and protected from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
This new process reflects Shanghai Commercial Good Company's commitment to innovation and quality. As it continues to expand its global market presence, particularly in regions like the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, and Australia, this focus on precision in neoprene panel cutting positions the company well on its journey to becoming the leading global supplier of outdoor sports and clothing.
