This research focuses on the development of a simulation and control system for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) designed specifically for small and medium-sized companies in the Peruvian textile industry. The goal is to create a CNC system that optimizes production processes without the need for expensive equipment. This system simulation allows generating cutting paths for multiple fabric pieces belonging to a post, thus optimizing production time and ensuring the safety of the operator. Additionally, the aim is to provide a technological solution for the artisans fabric cutting area. The project is carried out using MATLAB software to simulate different parameters and obtain results of cutting speed and time performed by the CNC machine, based on the size and shape of the piece (in this case, a t-shirt). It has been established that the optimal cutting speed and time for the design presented in this article should be less than 1 cm/s to achieve proper trajectory precision. Otherwise, the pieces may take on a different shape. In summary, this study focuses on developing a CNC simulation and control system accessible to small and medium-sized textile companies in Peru, in order to improve production efficiency and ensure precision in fabric cutting, all through the use of technological tools and MATLAB simulation.
