Kitting is the process of cutting and collating uncured fiber material for a composite component before the actual layup process. A sheeter is an automated cutting system used to cut sheets of fiber material. The desired length of material is input into a computer and the sheeter cuts the material to that length.

Kitting is the process of cutting and collating uncured fiber material for a composite component before the actual layup process. An automated cutting machine is a cutting system used to cut shapes out of fiber material. A knife moves across the fiber material cutting the shapes. The movements of the knife are controlled by the computer.
