CUTTING AND ENGRAVING TEXTILES WITH A LASER

The efficient laser machines from JustLaser not only deliver outstanding results when processing metal, acrylic and wood. They are also considered beneficial, efficient and innovative devices when it comes to processing textiles with a laser. Whether cutting patches, branding for sportswear, engraving logos in car upholstery or personalising items of clothing with initials and even in fab labs – our laser technology always wins people over with its precise quality.

USING LASERS IN TEXTILES PROCESSING

Textiles can be marked and cut using lasers, resulting in a special variety of different design options in textiles processing. Do you want to precisely cut textiles or personalise them through laser marking and thus create unique, one-off pieces? The laser machines from JustLaser make it possible! The process was only used in haute couture in the past, but the technique is now very popular in a wide variety of industries. Textiles for the fashion and automotive industries, the interior industry, flags and banners, and for medical and industrial purposes can all be processed using lasers.

THE BENEFITS OF PROCESSING TEXTILES USING LASERS

In comparison to elaborate stitching and embroidering by hand, modern lasers offer a number of options for quickly and efficiently cutting and finishing textiles. But that’s not all – if you want to process textiles using a laser, the laser machines from JustLaser will win you over with a whole range of benefits:

  • Optimal results through maximum precision – even with delicate details
  • Precise cut edges without any fraying
  • Finishing through laser marking
  • Maximum efficiency thanks to high throughput rates
  • Flexible application with a number of textiles
  • Hardly any dust formation
  • Little effort to clean
  • User-friendly

WIDE VARIETY OF MATERIALS FOR LASER CUTTING AND MARKING

There are basic distinctions made between linear, planar and spatial textiles. They are made in different processes from textiles (natural or synthetic fibres) or non-textiles (such as leather, feathers or even metals) and are used in the clothing sector, and in medicine and industry. When it comes to processing textiles, lasers are usually used to process planar or spatial textiles:

  • Fabrics like denim or satin
  • Knitted or stitched fabrics such as plush, jersey, fleece and spacer fabrics
  • Natural fibres like cotton, cloth and silk
  • Synthetic textiles like polyester, rayon, polyamide, polyurethane, polypropylene and foam
  • Non-woven fabrics
  • Felt
  • Leather
  • Lace
  • Knitted and braided fabrics
  • Technical textiles like canvas, filters and upholstery, e.g. in vehicle construction, etc.
  • Textile tubes
  • Aramid and Kevlar

THE OPTIONS FOR PROCESSING TEXTILES WITH A LASER

Different processes are used depending on whether you want to use lasers to cut or finish textiles.

CUTTING TEXTILES WITH A LASER

The laser cutters from JustLaser cut a wide variety of textiles particularly efficiently and quickly. Synthetic textiles can be processed particularly well. As the material often contains plastic, which melts when processed with a laser, the edges are automatically sealed (cut & seal), preventing fraying. The cut edges of natural fibres such as cloth turn a brownish colour. However, this can be largely avoided if the correct laser parameters are chosen. As no contact is made with the material when processing textiles with lasers, the material does not warp and can be processed in any direction, regardless of the structure of the fabric.

FINISHING TEXTILES

The surfaces of a number of organic and inorganic textiles can be finished and thus visually and haptically altered using a laser.

Customise textiles with logos and give them distinctive recognition value, engrave unusual designs into leather wallets or book covers, or personalise shirts or other items of clothing with your initials. A number of projects and ideas can be put into practice easily and efficiently with the high-quality laser cutters from JustLaser! If you process textiles with lasers, you can achieve sensational colour contrasts on many materials.

BENEFIT WITH JUSTLASER

If you want to process textiles with a laser, you can use the efficient laser machines from JustLaser to produce tailor-made solutions and high-quality results. Cuts are made with maximum precision and at a consistent level of quality. The technology can be applied flexibly to a wide variety of materials and finishes the material extremely gently.

  • Versatile possible applications: In principle, almost any textile can be processed using a laser. Furthermore, you can also find a wide range of different table sizes for a number of formats at JustLaser.
  • Gentle process: as the processing of textiles with lasers is contactless, there is absolutely no tool wear and the material does not warp.
  • Quick and clean results: fine and precise results can be achieved quickly and efficiently, even for large margins or complex engravings or cuts.
  • High time and cost efficiency: laser cutting is significantly faster than cutting with a knife. In addition, it is not necessary to buy any additional materials or attachments for this contactless laser process.
  • Maximum efficiency: with the laser cutters from JustLaser, you’ll benefit from high throughput rates and relatively low acquisition costs in comparison to other laser devices.
