Are Lasers Sexy?!

A Laser Cut fabric project we completed for Zac Posen

 

When used on textiles they are!

Check the latest trends coming from the runways and you will see many fashion elements being cut with lasers. Lately we are seeing a growing demand for laser cutting textiles by top designers. For more information visit our fabric division Laser Cut Fabric.

Our customers are coming from many different industries with many different applications. Please read below the benefits of using lasers on textiles.

 

An example of a complex image Laser Cutting Shapes worked with.

COMPLEXITY OF SHAPES: Lasers are able to cut the most detailed patterns you can imagine. You can send us any vector file, or we can develop one for you from a drawing. Please see our “setting up a sketch” page for more details.

EFFICIENCY: Your textiles are important to us. We can help you with your layout to get the most yields from your expensive textiles.

FRAYING OF EDGES: Our lasers seal the edges. If you are cutting with shears or blades, you know that some fabrics tend to fray. Laser cutting seals the edges of most textiles virtually eliminating the problem of fraying. This opens the door to limitless new techniques with textiles

PRECISION OF CUTS: Cutting precisely with scissors or blades can be very challenging, especially if high volumes are needed. With laser cutting (even on leather), you can have repeatable clean cuts with a precision unachievable with shears or blades.

SIZE OF CUTS: We are capable of very large cuts. Laser Cutting Shapes can cut 51″ wide and endless lengths limited only by the length of your roll of fabric. We can also cut / etch large rawhide skins right on our laser bed.

REPEATABILITY: Our cuts are the same, every time. If you work with textiles, you know how difficult it is to achieve consistent results when cutting certain materials with conventional methods. It’s almost impossible to cut the same shape every time. Lasers offer precise cuts whether you are cutting 10 shapes, 1,000 shapes, or 10,000 shapes. The cut is the same every time

 

Take your work to its next — and sexiest — level, with Laser Cutting Shapes!
