Laser Cut Polyester
Laser cutting polyester is popular and common.
This is not only due to the CO2 laser's compatibility (which is well-absorbed by polyester material) but also thanks to the high level of automation of the laser cutting machine.
We know polyester fabric has excellent properties in moisture-wicking, quick-drying, wrinkle resistance and durability.
These make polyester the important composition of sportswear, daily clothing, home textile and outdoor gear.
To match the boom of polyester items, fabric laser cutting machine is optimized and upgraded.
There are two basic types of polyester laser cutters designed for your solid polyester fabric and dye-sublimated polyester fabric.
Besides laser cutting polyester fabric, CO2 laser has exceptional performance in laser cutting polyester film and laser cutting polyester felt.
Now follow with us, explore the world of laser cutting polyester.

1. Laser Cutting Polyester
Can you cut polyester without it fraying? The answer from laser cutter is YES!
Laser cutting polyester especially polyester fabric is widely used.
With the fine laser spot and precise laser cutting path, the laser cutting machine can accurately cut the polyester fabric into pieces used in clothing, sportswear, or banners.
The high precision of laser cutting polyester brings a clean and smooth edge.
The heat from the CO2 laser is able to seal the edge instantly, getting rid of post-processing.
The laser cutter, more exactly, the laser beam, is in a spot to contact and cut through the polyester.
That's why there is no limitation in cutting shapes, patterns, and sizes.
You can use the polyester laser cutter to realize tailor-made designs, with perfect cutting effects.
2. Laser Perforating in Polyester
Laser perforating is like laser cutting polyester, but the difference is laser cutting small holes in polyester.
We know the laser spot is so thin can reach 0.3mm,
which means laser cutting micro holes is possible.
You can customize the shapes, and sizes of the holes, including the spaces between various holes.
The application of laser cutting holes in polyester is widely used in sportswear, to realize great breathability.
Plus, laser perforation features fast speed, which is highly efficient for polyester processing.
3. Laser Marking on Polyester
Laser marking on polyester (also called laser engraving polyester) is a special marking technology.
Whether for engraving on polyester T-shirts, bags, or towels, laser machine can make it.
The fine laser spot and precise power and speed control, make the engraving or marking effect fantastic.
You can engrave logo, graphic, text, name, or any design on polyester fabric or felt.
The permanent mark didn't wear or disappear. You can decorate home textiles or put marks to identify unique clothing.
