Fabric Laser Cutting Machine｜The Best of 2023
Do you want to start your business in the clothing and fabric industry from scratch with a CO2 Laser Cutter Machine? In this article, we will elaborate on some key points and make some wholehearted recommendations on some Laser Cutting Machines for Fabric if you want to invest in the Best Fabric Laser Cutting Machine of 2023.
When we say fabric laser cutting machine, we are not simply talking about a laser cutting machine that can cut fabric, we mean the laser cutter that comes with a conveyor belt, auto feeder and all other components to help you cut fabric from roll automatically.
Compared with investing in a regular table-size CO2 laser engraver that’s mainly used for cutting solid materials, such as Acrylic and Wood, you need to choose a textile laser cutter more wisely. In today’s article, we will help you select a fabric laser cutter step by step.
Fabric Laser Cutter Machine
1. Conveyor Tables of a Fabric Laser Cutting Machine
The conveyor table size is the first thing you need to consider if you want to purchase a Laser Fabric Cutter machine. Two parameters you need to pay attention to are the fabric width, and the pattern size.
If you are making a clothing line, 1600 mm*1000 mm and 1800 mm*1000 mm are suitable sizes.
If you are making apparel accessories, 1000 mm*600 mm shall be a good choice.
If you are industrial manufacturers that want to cut Cordura, Nylon, and Kevlar, you should really consider large format fabric laser cutters like 1600 mm*3000 mm and 1800 mm*3000 mm.
We also have our casings factory and engineers, so we also provide customizable machine sizes for Fabric Cutting Laser Machines.
Here is a Table with information about the Suitable Conveyor Table Size according to Different Applications for your Reference.

2. Laser Power for Laser Cutting Fabric
Once you have determined the size of the machine in terms of material width and design pattern size, you need to start thinking about laser power options. In fact, a lot of cloth needs to use different power, not the market unified think 100w is enough.
All information regarding Laser Power selection for Laser Cutting Fabric are shown in the video
3. Cutting Speed of Laser Fabric Cutting
In short, higher laser power is the easiest option to increase cutting speed. This is especially true if you are cutting solid materials like wood and acrylic.
But for Laser Cutting Fabric, sometimes the power increase may not be able to increase the cutting speed very much. It may cause the fabric fibres to burn and give you a rough edge.
To keep a balance between cutting speed and cutting quality, you can consider multiple laser heads to boost product efficiency in this case. Two heads, four heads, or even eight heads to laser cut fabric at the same time.
In the next video, we will take more about how to improve production efficiency and explain more about multiple laser heads.

4. Optional Upgrades for Laser Cutting Fabric Machine
The abovementioned are the three elements to consider when choosing a fabric-cutting machine. We know that many factories have special production requirements, so we provide some options to simplify your production.
A. Visual System
Products like dye sublimation sportswear, printed teardrop flags, and embroidery patches, or your products have patterns on them and need to recognize the contours, we have vision systems to replace the human eyes.
B. Marking System
If you want to mark workpieces to simplify subsequent laser cutting production, such as marking the sewing lines and serial numbers, then you can add Mark Pen or Ink-jet Printer Head on the laser machine.
Most noteworthy is that the Ink-jet Printer use vanishes ink, which can disappear after you heat up your material, and will not affect any aesthetic of your products.
C. Nesting Software
The nesting software helps you automatically arrange graphics and generate cutting files.
D. Prototype Software
If you used to cut fabric manually and have tons of template sheets, you can use our prototype system. It will take pictures of your template and save it digitally that you can use on the laser machine software directly
E. Fume Extractor
If you want to laser-cut plastic-based fabric and worry about toxic fumes, then an industrial fume extractor can help you solve the problem.
