Refine your designs for textiles and fabrics with a laser cutter
Lasers and in particular laser cutting is becoming more popular within the fashion design industry. From laser engraving velvet to laser cutting fabrics and leather, almost any design is possible with laser technology. With faster processing speeds for individual graphic designs, each piece can be made unique even when produced as a large series. Laser cutting single-layer textiles is more productive than using traditional methods of cutting such as a knife or scissors. The laser cut edges of synthetic materials are also melted during processing, resulting in a clean, perfectly sealed edge. A laser cutter can also process other materials such as acrylics, woods and stone, which can be incorporated into fashion design.
A CO2 laser is used for cutting and engraving fabrics and textiles. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester or polyamide are well suited for laser processing. During laser cutting the synthetic materials are melted in a controlled manner which prevents the edges from becoming frayed. Depending on the laser engraving process used, the top layer of the materials is more or less removed during processing allowing various contrasts to be achieved.
Within the fashion industry laser machines are a versatile tool offering precision and flexibility. Form laser cutting unique designs to refining garments, the laser will cut a wide variety of materials. The edges of synthetic materials are melted when processed, reducing lint produced from fluffy materials. A more tangible haptic effect can be achieved with laser engraving, allowing end products to be personalised.
Synthetic materials and fabrics respond well to laser cutting and engraving. Using polyester as an example, the laser beam melts the materials during laser cutting resulting in fiber free, sealed edges. Natural and organic fabrics like cotton and linen will have a discoloured edge when laser cutting, similar to the result produced when laser cutting wood. This effect can be partially compensated by using the right lens and parameters while using compressed air.
