A sheet body is gripped (bound) by grip conveyance units, and conveyed as the grip conveyance units are displaced in this state. At the same time as this conveyance, the sheet body is held by delivering units, and delivered by a predetermined amount by the delivering units. After that, the sheet body is cut in predetermined size and shape by cutting molds.

A machining data generation apparatus 4 is used in a sheet process system, which executes a plurality of times of processes by using one or more sheet process apparatuses processing a sheet by performing one or more times of machining and obtains a product in a desired form from the sheet, and generates machining data for operating the sheet process apparatus, and the machining data generation apparatus 4 includes a machining condition input unit 51 that inputs a machining condition for obtaining the product in a desired form from the sheet; a data generation unit 8 that generates the machining data including each machining data piece for operating the sheet process apparatus in order to execute each process in the plurality of times of processes, on the basis of the input machining condition; and a data output unit 71 that outputs the generated machining data to the sheet process apparatus that executes each process.
