Method of cutting an object as a function of particularities of said object

A method of cutting an object, in particular an object in the form of a sheet, by means of a tool controlled by a computer system and in accordance with a cutting program that may depend on certain instructions associated with said object, said computer system examining said object by being connected to an object-scanning camera, in particular a video camera, the method including the following steps:

• (a) marking at least some of said instructions directly on the object prior to scanning, said marking being manually implemented by an operator using fluorescent marking means, and said marking being in the form of distinctive symbols which are detectable by said camera and which are interpretable as being constraints on cutting to be taken into account by said cutting program,
• (b) placing the object on a fluorescent table,
• (c) illuminating said object by a source of ultraviolet light,
• (d) simultaneously with step (c), scanning the object with said camera, and
• (e) adjusting a scanning speed of said camera as a function of a required sensitivity, the placement of the object on the fluorescent table enabling the camera to discern an outline of the object and contours of any holes in the object.
