FASTSEWN Unveils Revolutionary Roll-Fed Flatbed Sewing And Laser Cutting System At Printing United
October 2025 – FASTSEWN, a pioneer in textile automation technology, today announced the U.S. debut of its patented roll-fed flatbed Sewing and Laser Cutting solution at Printing United, in Orlando from October 22nd-24th - Booth 848.
This groundbreaking integrated system addresses critical "last mile" challenges in wide-format textile production by automating sewing directly from rolls and immediately laser-cutting finished pieces under the control of a single operator.
The innovative system delivers transformative results for textile manufacturers, including a 60% reduction in total production time and consistent, high-precision stitching on multi-layer textiles.
The technology features automatic dispensing, sewing and cutting keder for SEG applications whilst eliminating pre-cutting requirements and manual handling variability.
Most significantly, the single-operator workflow replaces the need for multiple sewing-machine operators and enables seamless transition from roll feed to laser cutting for any 2D pattern.
For decades, manufacturers of SEG signage and printed graphics have witnessed automation in design, printing, and pre-cutting processes, yet sewing has remained a persistent manual bottleneck limiting industry efficiency.
FASTSEWN's proprietary Moving Cavity Technology (MCT™) finally bridges this critical gap by continuously feeding textiles from rolls, sewing complex patterns, then laser-cutting shapes in one uninterrupted process, delivering flawless results without requiring specialised sewing personnel.
"This launch represents more than an incremental improvement—it fundamentally redefines how textiles are processed in wide-format graphics," said Jim Manelski, Sales Director, Americas. "By eradicating manual handling and accuracy issues, we empower manufacturers to scale faster, reduce labour costs, and maintain impeccable quality standards."
The system's introduction comes at a crucial time when textile manufacturers face mounting pressure to increase production efficiency whilst maintaining quality standards and managing rising labour costs.
FASTSEWN's solution directly addresses these industry-wide challenges through intelligent automation.
