The cassette comprises two rotatable roll holders for a delivery roll from which tape material carried on a support layer is unreeled in the cutting station until the delivery roll is empty and a storage roll on which the support layer carrying cut tape material pieces is wound. The rotatable roll holders in the cutting station and the laying head and holders for the delivery and storage rolls are arranged to form a plug connection. The cassette also comprises guides defining therebetween processing zones freely accessible from outside the cassette for working on the tape material, and the processing zones are arranged in the range of a cutting device and the waste material removing devices in the cutting station, and in the range of a pressure device for pressing the tape material strips against the laying-up surface when the cassette is inserted on the laying head.
