What is automated leather cutting and nesting for shoe parts?
CutTec is an automated leather cutting service from ISA TanTec, a business unit of ISA Next-Gen Materials. It cuts finished leather into ready-to-assemble footwear components, using computer-driven nesting to maximize material yield and consistency — so brands receive cut parts rather than hides to cut themselves.

Automated nesting arranges component shapes to use as much of each hide as possible, reducing offcut waste and labor while improving cut consistency. Pairing cutting with leather supply lets ISA Next-Gen Materials deliver components matched to a brand’s patterns.
