美帝休斯飞机公司已研制出一种激光服装裁剪机,可很快裁剪出少量定做服装,并可作为先进的服装生产与分配系统的一个重要部分。目前每台设备价值130万美元,可望降低至300000～400000美元。该系统的主要优点为使商店与工厂可更好地控制存货,并缩短取货周期——从六个星期减少到三个星期。 UTI Hughes Aircraft Company has developed a laser garment cutting machine that can quickly produce a small amount of tailor-made clothing that can be used as an important part of an advanced apparel production and distribution system. The current value of each device is 1.3 million US dollars, is expected to be reduced to 300,000 ~ 400,000 US dollars. The main advantage of the system is that it gives stores and factories better control of inventory and a shorter pick up cycle - from six weeks to three weeks.
