The present research addresses the development and construction of a low cost prototype of a machine, controlled by computer, for automated cutting of flexible materials. The motivation for this research is the increasing importance, in the national industry context, of flexible material manufacturing. Although there is a great variety of flexible materials used in the garment industry, the emphasis lies on textile cutting. The problem consists in the simultaneous driving of three step Motors and the Best choice of cutting tools. The third motor is necessary to align the cutting balde tangentially to the desinred path. Another topic of research was how to fiz the fabric to the cutting table. Due to fabric flexibility, fixing just some points does´ntguarantee the stiffness of whole and can generate wrinkles during the cutting process. This research also considers the choice of rigth tool in order to eliminate the movement of fabric and simplify the cutting process. Finally, a solution for eliminating the necessity of the third motor to align the blade tangentially to the desired path has also been considered
