Abstract:
1. A method of cutting out one at least one shape (S) preset in sheet material ( 10 ), the at least one preset shape (S) having a pattern (P) with predetermined geometry and having at least one fiducial (F,F 2 . . . ), each of the at least one fiducial (F,F 2 . . . ) corresponding to predetermined coordinates in the pattern (P), comprising: locating the global coordinates of located one or more fiducials (F,F cutting the pattern (P) for the located shape (S), the pattern (P) being superimposed relative to the located one or more fiducials (F,F substantially continuously repeating the concurrent processes of cutting the located shape (S) while locating the global coordinates of subsequent one or more fiducials (F,F
