Laser cutting both natural and synthetic leather is a highly efficient and precise process. No damage or distortion for the original material occurs during the laser cutting.
Using traditional mechanic tools (knife-cutter) for cutting resistant tough leather causes heavy wear to the blade. As a result, the cutting quality decreases as you go and requires frequent maintenance.
The laser beam does not need to be readjusted or serviced during the production and does cuts without having direct contact with the material. As a result the high quality of your product will be consistent and more cost efficient.
Benefits of laser cutting leather:
Precise and consistent quality of cuts
No material deformation by stress-free material supply
Cutting edges without fraying
Fusing/sealing cut edges for synthetic leathers, thus no additional work required after laser cutting
Contactless laser processing
Lamination with a special masking tape can be used to eliminate even slight discoloration during laser cutting or engraving.
Natural and synthetic leathers are used in various industries such as clothing, shoe making, furniture manufacturing and others. Owing to its high precision and repeatability laser cutting has become one of the most trusted tools for these industries.
Some applications for laser cutting leather: goods manufacturing, gift manufacturing, graphic imaging, packaging, fashion.
