Trotec laser machine for engraving and cutting textiles.
Produce premium fabric designs with the precision of a laser engraver. Experience the haptic effect of laser engraving, offering intricate detailing and textured effects. From intricate felt engravings to elaborate polyester cuts, our laser machines offer limitless design possibilities in textile fabrication. Synthetic fabrics particularly benefit from laser processing, as the controlled melting of the fabric edges prevents fraying. Denim fabric gets a “stonewash" effect, achieved without the need for chemical treatments, as the laser's heat delicately bleaches the fabric.
Types of textiles for laser processing.
The textile industry includes a wide range of materials, including textile based on natural fibers like cotton, denim, genuine leather and textiles based on synthetic fibers such as fleece, softshell and artificial leather. Cotton and denim can be lightened or "faded" with laser engraving. Genuine leather, being a natural material, varies in reaction to laser processing. Those based on synthetic fibers facilitate a wide range of laser applications, including engraving or cutting as the cutting edge can be sealed and is therefore less likely to fray. Fleece offers warmth, while softshell provides water resistance. However, caution is needed with artificial leather, as it often contains PVC compounds that can release harmful gases if lasered.

Our laser software Ruby®, seamlessly integrates these settings with its peripherals, functioning as the comprehensive control center for managing all aspect of the laser operation. This not only saves time and materials but also ensures consistent results. Easily adjust parameters like air assist, power level, or frequency within Ruby® and store these settings for future projects.
What our customers say about our laser cutter for fabrics.
Speaking personally, when I think of laser cutters, I think of Trotec. Based on my own experiences of having used Trotec laser cutters at other fabrication facilities as well, when making our own equipment selection, there was peace-of-mind in that I knew of the brand’s combination of safety and processing speed.

I used to do all the leather bracelets by hand. You can only imagine how long they would have taken. Now I have programmed it into the machine because I was selling so many and running out of stock all the time. It’s never ending what my machine can do.
Carol Dadds
