Discover VectorFashion iX2 and VectorFashion Q2

© 2023 Lectra
Transition quickly from small series to significant volumes with the Vector iX2 and Vector Q2 range of cutters to keep up with fluctuating order volumes. Seize opportunities as they arise and achieve profitability without relying on traditional economies of scale.

The new generation of low-ply cutters

The Vector iX2 & Q2 is a state-of-the-art low-ply fabric-cutting range to enable manufacturers to cut small-quantity orders faster, with increased accuracy and at lower costs, and adapt their cutting room to meet the trend for smaller orders.

In today’s manufacturing climate, the frequency and quantity of small orders are continuously increasing; which is negatively affecting larger orders and the benefits of economies of scale. This ongoing trend of smaller orders results in shortening lead times and fabric-ply heights that are less than 2.5 cm.




Vector iX2 & Q2 help manufacturers adapt to changing demand and maintain cost-effective operations

As a result, minimizing waste, reducing production costs, and speeding up the cutting process become key factors in managing fluctuations in production volume. These efficiency strategies enabled by Vector iX2 & Q2 help manufacturers adapt to changing demand and maintain cost-effective operations.
