1. A conveyor belt formed by a plurality of bristle brushes, each bristle brush comprising a support plate, a plurality of flexible bristles emerging from one of the surfaces thereof, the ends of the bristles furthest from the support plate defining a support surface intended to receive a part to be transported and/or cut,
said support plate comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge, said leading and trailing edges defining complementary shapes,
wherein the complementary shapes have a polygonal shape joining said plurality of bristle brushes, forming a homogeneous base of the conveyor belt to enable a homogeneous transition between bristle brushes as the bristle brushes pass over a gear or roller during movement of the conveyor belt.
