Laser Cutting is a common technology, making use of a powerful and fine laser beam to cut through the fabric. As the moving of the laser head which is controlled by the digital control system, the laser spot turns into a consistent and smooth line, making the fabric different shapes and patterns. Due to the wide compatibility of CO2 laser, the clothing laser cutting machine can handle different materials including cotton, brushed fabric, nylon, polyester, Cordura, denim, silk, etc. That is one of the reasons why using laser cutting machines in the garment industry.

Laser Engraving Apparel

The unique feature of a clothing laser cutting machine, is it can engrave on cloth and textiles, such as laser engraving on the shirt. The laser power and speed are adjustable to control the strength of the laser beam, when you use lower power and higher speed, the laser will not cut through the cloth, on the contrary, it will leave etching and engraving marks on the surface of materials. Same as laser cutting clothing, laser engraving on the clothing is performed according to the imported design file. So you can complete various engraving patterns like logo, text, graphics.

Laser Perforating in Clothing

Laser perforating in cloth is similar to laser cutting. With the fine and thin laser spot, the laser cutting machine can create small holes in the fabric. The application is common and popular in swear shirts and sportswear. Laser cutting holes in the fabric, on the one hand, adds breathability, on the other hand,  enriches the appearance of the clothing. By editing your design file and import into the laser cutting software, you will get various shapes, different sizes, and spaces of holes.

Suits require a high level of precision for a sharp, clean finish. Laser cutting ensures that each piece, from lapels to cuffs, is perfectly cut for a polished, professional appearance. Custom suits benefit greatly from laser cutting, allowing for precise measurements and unique, personalized details like monograms or decorative stitching.

Laser Cutting Sportswear

Breathability: Laser cutting can create micro-perforations in sportswear fabrics, enhancing breathability and comfort during physical activity.

Streamlined Design: Sportswear often requires sleek, aerodynamic designs. Laser cutting can produce these with minimal material waste and maximum efficiency.

Durability: Laser-cut edges in sportswear are less prone to fraying, leading to more durable garments that can withstand rigorous use.

About how to adjust the laser head to find the right focal length, please check this out: How to Determine CO2 Laser Lens Focal Length

3. Does laser cut fabric fray?

Laser cutting fabric can protect the fabric from fraying and splintering. Thanks to the heat treatment from the laser beam, the laser cutting fabric can be finished meanwhile the edge sealing. This is especially beneficial for synthetic fabrics like polyester, which melt slightly at the edges when exposed to laser heat, creating a clean, fray-resistant finish.

Although that, we suggest you first test your material with different laser settings like power and speed, and to find the most suitable laser setting, then carry out your production.
