Laser Engraving Leather:
Unveiling the Art of Precision and Craftsmanship
Leather Material for Laser Cutting & Engraving
Leather, an eternal material admired for its elegance and durability, has now ventured into the realm of laser engraving. The fusion of traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology provides artists and designers with a canvas that combines intricate detailing and pinpoint accuracy. Let's embark on a journey of laser engraving leather, where creativity knows no bounds, and each engraved design becomes a masterpiece.
Advantages of Laser Engraving Leather
The leather industry has overcome challenges of slow manual cutting and electric shearing, which are often plagued by difficulties in layout, inefficiency, and material wastage, through the application of laser cutting machines.
# How does laser cutter solve the leather layout difficulties?
You know the laser cutter can be computer-controlled and we designed the MimoNest software, which can auto-nest the patterns with different shapes and keep away from the scars on genuine leather. The software eliminates labor nesting and can reach maximum material utilization.
# How can the laser cutter complete accurate engraving and cutting leather?
Thanks to the fine laser beam and accurate digital control system, the leather laser cutter can engrave or cut on the leather with high precision strictly according to the design file. To improve process efficiency, we designed a projector for the laser engraving machine. The projector can help you to put the leather in the right position and preview the design pattern. To learn more about that, please check out the page about MimoProjection software. Or glance at the below video.

▶ Automatic & Efficient Engraving
These machines offer fast speeds, simple operations, and substantial benefits to the leather industry. By inputting the desired shapes and dimensions into the computer, the laser engraving machine precisely cuts the entire piece of material into the desired finished product. With no need for blades or molds, it also saves a significant amount of labor.
▶ Versatile Applications
Leather laser engraving machines are widely used in the leather industry. The applications of laser engraving machines in the leather industry primarily involve shoe uppers, handbags, genuine leather gloves, luggage, car seat cover and more. The manufacturing processes include punching holes(laser perforation in leather), surface detailing(laser engraving on leather), and pattern cutting(laser cutting leather).
▶ Excellent Leather Cutting & Engraving Effect
Compared to traditional cutting methods, laser cutting machines offer numerous advantages: leather edges remain free from yellowing, and they automatically curl or roll, maintaining their shape, flexibility, and consistent, accurate dimensions. These machines can cut any intricate shape, ensuring high efficiency and low costs. Computer-designed patterns can be cut into various sizes and shapes of lace. The process exerts no mechanical pressure on the workpiece, ensuring safety during operation and facilitating simple maintenance.
Limitations and Solutions for Laser Engraving Leather
Limitation:
1. Cutting edges on genuine leather tend to blacken, forming an oxidation layer. However, this can be mitigated by using an eraser to remove the blackened edges.
2. Additionally, the process of laser engraving on leather produces a distinct odor due to the laser's heat.
Solution:
1. Nitrogen gas can be used for cutting to avoid the oxidation layer, although it comes with higher costs and slower speeds. Different types of leather may require specific cutting methods. For instance, synthetic leather can be pre-moistened before engraving to achieve better results. To prevent blackened edges and yellowing surfaces on genuine leather, embossed paper can be added as a protective measure.
2. The odor and fume produced in laser engraving leather can be absorbed by the exhaust fan or fume extractor (featuring clean waste).
