Technical garments, made to measure
High ply cutters suit mass-market fashion. Technical, specialised and sample garments are different: they need accuracy, flexibility and economy on short runs. Aeronaut’s small, fast low ply blade and laser cutters make that work efficient, and our machines have even helped make spacesuits for SpaceX Dragon astronauts.
Protective & emergency clothing
Cut garments for fire, rescue and emergency services accurately, from synthetic outer shells to natural-fibre layers.
Aerospace & defence apparel
Produce made-to-measure technical clothing for flight, space and defence users, with sealed edges on synthetic fabrics.
Samples & short runs
Cut high-end, specialised and sample garments economically, without the setup of a high ply cutting room.

The right tool for every part of the garment
Every Aeronaut cutter has quick-change tooling, so you can change a sharp blade or punch safely off the cutting head and always use the best tool for the job. New tool types are always in development, and custom profiles and tools are available on request.
Laser or blade
Lasers give detailed cuts and sealed edges on synthetics. Blade cutters handle natural fibres. Fitted with SiliconEye, either is ideal for production, prototyping and design.
Cam-lock and bayonet tooling
Cam-lock tools lock with a quarter turn and change by hand in under 15 seconds. Bayonet tools drop in like an SLR lens and include powered reciprocating, ultrasonic and rotary knives.
Multi-tool speed
On a multi-tool head, software changes tools in under a second. Each Cam-lock axis can also work as a drill punch, so a four-tool head can carry three punch sizes and a cutter.
World-class software that delivers for now and the future
SiliconEye traces and digitises a table full of paper patterns in seconds, so existing garment patterns are ready to cut. Tangent nests pieces tightly to cut waste on costly technical fabrics and drives your cutter with simple, powerful controls. Inkjet printing adds size, piece and order marks to every part.

Frequently asked questions
Laser or blade for garment fabrics?
Lasers are best for detailed cutting and edge sealing on synthetic fabrics. For natural fibres, blade cutters like the Mikron 2 and Elektron Mono LC work well.
Is a single-tool cutter enough?
Often, yes. A manual Cam-lock tool change takes under 15 seconds, so occasional changes are no problem. A multi-tool head pays off when you change tools many times a day.
Can I cut leather and foam as well as fabric?
Yes. The Elektron B1 Neo bayonet head adds powered rotary and reciprocating knives for foam, leather and thicker fabrics.
Can you make a custom tool for my process?
Yes. New tool types are always in development, and custom profiles and tools are available on request.
