How to Laser Cut Solid Color Fabric
▍Regular Fabric Cutting:
Advantages
✔ No crushing and breaking of material due to contactless processing
✔ Laser thermal treatments guarantee no fraying edges
✔ Engraving, marking, and cutting can be realized in a single processing
✔ No materials fixation thanks to MimoWork vacuum working table
✔ Automatic feeding allows unattended operation which saves your labor cost, the lower rejection rate
✔ The advanced mechanical structure allows laser options and customized working table
Applications:
Mask, Interior (Carpets, Curtains, Sofas, Armchairs, Textile Wallpaper), Technical Textiles (Automotive, Airbags, Filters, Air Dispersion Ducts)
▍Regular Fabric Etching:
Advantages
✔ Voice Coil Motor delivers maximum marking speed up to 15,000mm's
✔ Automatic feeding & cutting due to Auto-Feeder and Conveyor Table
✔ Continuous high speed and high precision ensure productivity
✔ Extensible Working Table can be customized in accord with material format
Applications:
Textiles (natural and technical fabrics), Denim, etc.
▍Regular Fabric Perforating:
Advantages
✔ No dust or contamination
✔ High-speed cutting for plenty of holes within a short time
✔ Precise cutting, perforating, micro perforating
Laser is computer-controlled realizes easily switching in any perforated fabric with different design layouts. Because the laser is non-contact processing, it will not deform the fabric when punching expensive elastic fabrics. Since the laser is heat-treated, all cutting edges will be sealed which ensures smooth cutting edges.
Applications:
Athletic apparel, leather jackets, leather shoes, curtain fabric, Polyether Sulfone, Polyethylene, Polyester, Nylon, Glass Fiber

The Mimowork’s Flatbed Laser Cutter 160 is mainly for cutting. This model is especially R&D for textile & leather and other soft materials cutting. You can choose different working platforms for different materials. Moreover, two laser heads and the auto feeder as MimoWork options are available for you to achieve higher efficiency during your production.
The Mimowork’s Flatbed Laser Cutter 160L is R&D for textile rolls and soft materials, especially for dye-sublimation fabric. The 62’’ width cutting table can be applied to most of the typical fabric rolls. Diverse vision systems are designed for different materials and applications, helping you cut smartly. The vacuum sucking function ensures materials to be flat on the table. With the MimoWork Auto Feeder system, the material will be fed directly and endlessly from the roll without any further manual operation. Also, the marking pen is available for subsequent sewing or other processing purposes.
GALVO Laser Marker 80 with a totally enclosed design is definitely your perfect choice for industrial laser marking. Thanks to its max GALVO view 800mm * 800mm, it is ideal for marking, cutting, and perforating leather, paper card, heat transfer vinyl, or any other large piece of material. The MimoWork dynamic beam expander can automatically control the focal point to achieve the best performance and strengthen the firmness of the marking effect. The totally-enclosed design provides you a dust-free working place and improves the safety level under a high-power laser. Moreover, CCD Camera and conveyor working table as MimoWork laser options are available, helping you realize an uninterrupted laser solution and maximize labor savings for your manufacture.

How to Vision Laser Cut Textiles (Fabrics)
Patterned Textiles:
▍Contour Recognition System
Why would be Contour Recognition System?
✔ Easily recognize different sizes and shapes of graphics
✔ Achieve Ultra-high-speed recognition
✔ No need for cutting files
✔ Large recognition format
Mimo Contour Recognition System, together with an HD camera is an intelligent option of laser cutting for fabrics with printed patterns. By the printed graphic outlines or color contrast, the contour recognition system can detect the pattern contours without cutting files, achieving a fully automatic and convenient process.
Applications:
Active Wear, Arm Sleeves, Leg Sleeves, Bandanna, Headband, Sublimation Pillow, Rally Pennants, Face Cover, Masks, Rally Pennants, Flags, Posters, Billboards, Fabric Frames, Table Covers, Backdrops, Printed Embroidery, Appliques, Overlaying, Patches, Adhesive Material, Paper, Leather…
▍CCD Camera Recognition System
Why would be CCD Mark Positioning?
✔ Accurately locate the cutting item according to the mark points
✔ Precise cutting by the outline
✔ High processing speed together with short software setup time
✔ Compensation of thermal deformation, stretching, shrinkage in materials
✔ Minimal error with digital system control
The CCD camera is equipped beside the laser head to search for the workpiece using registration marks at the start of the cutting procedure. Through this way, printed, woven and embroidered fiducial marks, as well as other high-contrast contours, can be visually scanned so that laser can know where the actual position and dimension of the fabric workpieces are, achieving a precise cutting effect.
Applications:
Embroidery Patch, Twill Numbers & Letter, Label, Applique, Printed Textile…
▍Template Matching System
Why would be Template Matching System?
✔ Achieve fully automated process, extremely easy and convenient to operate
✔ Achieve high matching speed and high matching success rate
✔ Process a large number of patterns of the same size and shape in a shorter period
When you are cutting small pieces of the same size and shape, especially digital printed or woven labels, it often takes a lot of time and labor costs by processing with the conventional cutting method. MimoWork develops a template matching system that is in a completely automated process, helping to save your time and increase the cutting accuracy for label laser cutting at the same time.
Non- patterned Textiles:
Depending on the actual production need, sometimes you still need vision function regardless there are no printed/embroidery patterns on your textiles. For example, when you process heated car seats, you will need HD Camera and Template Matching System to recognize the subtle contour of the copper wire wrapped by seat material and prevent you from cutting them.
Application: heated car seats, protection suit, lace

Contour Laser Cutter 160L is equipped with an HD Camera on the top which can detect the contour and transfer the cutting data to the laser directly. It is the simplest cutting method for dye sublimation products. Varied options have been designed in our software package serving different applications and requirements. The camera has the function of ‘photo digitize’. Besides the outline contour detection, you can also use templates for high precision cutting.
The Contour Laser Cutting Machine 180L with working table size 1800mm*1400mm can cut out printed pieces of fabric or textile quickly and precisely. After the printed roll is collected from the calendar heat presser, the printed pattern on the polyester fabric may shrink due to the characteristics of polyester and spandex. For this reason, MimoWork Contour Laser Cutter 180L is the ideal tool to process stretch textile. Any distortion or stretches can be recognized by MimoWork Smart Vision System and printed pieces will be cut in the correct size and shape.
