Abstract
A cutting apparatus includes a holding member disposed at a position opposed to a cutting blade and having an adhesive layer removably holding an object, a pressing unit pressing the object held by the holding member and having a contact portion brought into contact with the object, a region specifying unit specifying a region where an adhesive retention of the adhesive layer is insufficient along a cutting line of the object cut by the blade, and a control unit controlling the pressing unit so that when the object is cut by moving the blade and the holding member holding the object relative to each other, at least either an amount of pressing or a pressing force of the contact portion is changed between a case where the region specified by the region specifying unit is cut and a case where any part other than the specified region is cut.
