With a Trotec laser cutting fabrics is a quick and easy process, a variety of textiles can be cut to size. Materials can be also be given a high-quality finish with laser engraving thanks to the creation of a haptic effect. Whether you use it to engrave felt or to cut extravagant shapes out of polyester - the laser offers you incredible design possibilities. Synthetic substances react very well during laser cutting and engraving. The laser beam fuses laser cutting edges on polyester and thereby prevents fraying.
Laser engraving and cutting of fabrics
When processing textiles, the laser excels with precision and flexibility. The laser beam melts the material while cutting. The results are clean, perfectly sealed edges. Laser engraving creates a tangible haptic effect. This way laser cut fabrics and textiles can be given a special finish.
There are many advantages. Single-layer laser cut fabrics are produced quicker than manual cutting with a knife, increasing productivity. Laser processing is a non-contact, tool-free process. Laser cut fabrics and textiles are not touched during laser cutting, meaning the material is not warped. The laser beam melts the material and the results are clean, perfectly sealed edges. Thanks to Trotecs laser cutting machines, even large format fabrics and textiles can be easily processed.
"We were so impressed with the Speedy 100, our machine has been fantastic. It’s twice as fast as the old laser cutter we used to have, and production speeds and lead times have increased twofold as a result."- Di Oliver - production manager at Tando Creative -
"Our Trotec machine is streets ahead of the old machine we used to have in terms of the quality of engraving and the efficiency with which it operates. Any problems we’ve had have been dealt with swiftly, and Trotec’s friendly staff are always happy to help."- Lynn Walsh - Managing Director of History Craft -
"We chose Trotec because of the flexibility of the machine, the knowledge of the staff and the machine performance on demos in terms of speed, efficiency and quality of finish."- Alton Greenwood - Process Development Manager at SKF Aerospace -
Synthetic fabrics respond very well to processing. They often comprise plastics such as polyester. The laser beam melts polyester in a controlled manner, and this provides fiber-free, sealed edges. For organic fabrics such as cotton and linen, a brownish discolored cutting edge is obtained similar to when processing wood. This effect can be partially compensated by selecting the correct lens and laser parameters and using compressed air.
Laserflexx is a high-quality, multi-layered film that has been specifically designed for laser processing. Enrich textiles with designs of your choice, logos, and lettering with a screen-like finish. Optimal laser settings vary depending on the laser power and the speed of your laser plotter. We recommend processing from the bottom up while using the highest possible exhaust power setting. This way, any dust produced is no longer drawn across the area that has already been laser-processed.
