Due to a force free and contact free processing steps, laser material doesn’t require any kind of material fixation. Because the engraving is being done by a laser, there is virtually no waste, no wear and no loss of the quality of the image from the first day it was engraved. Lasers have a very high degree of accuracy, much more than the human touch. There are even certain lasers that are able to leave a superficial burn on certain fabrics, which than can be used as an outline.
Key Takeaways:
- Lasers are typically used in the textile industry to mark and engrave different types of fabrics.
- Fabrics can be cut with a laser but there are typically multiple layers of fabric on top of each other.
- When engraving fabric it is typically burnt off but when using a laser you will have increased accuracy and speed.
“Since the inherent costs are low, it is possible to work on low volumes of material as economies of scale are achieved sooner. The time needed for the conceptualization and production is reduced to a minimum, thereby causing faster turnarounds.”
