Laser engraving has emerged as a revolutionary manufacturing technique, boasting precision, speed, ease of operation, and high levels of automation. It is gradually gaining widespread adoption in the leather and textile apparel industries. The advantages of laser engraving lie in its ability to rapidly carve and etch various patterns onto various leather fabrics, offering flexibility in operation without causing any deformation to the leather surface, thereby highlighting the leather's natural color and texture. It also offers numerous advantages such as high engraving precision, smooth edges without burrs, and the ability to create complex shapes, making it suitable for manufacturers of footwear, leather goods, handbags, luggage, and leather apparel.
In traditional manufacturing processes, the drawbacks of using die-cutting methods include the potential for fabric fringing, limited processing accuracy due to die constraints, and difficulties in manufacturing complex shapes, which often leads to long production cycles and high costs, hindering the development of manufacturers. Additionally, hot cutting methods have their own drawbacks, such as large cut edges, yellowing and hardening of the edges, and difficulty in alignment. Complex shapes often require manual cutting, which can lead to loose edges and waste, making the need for an advanced manufacturing method urgent.
Although laser processing also belongs to the thermal processing method, due to the high focusing of the laser, the light spot is thin, and the heat diffusion area is small, it is extremely suitable for cutting textiles, leather, EVA, nonwoven fabrics, etc. The specific performance is wide range of processing fabrics, smooth cutting without burrs, automatic closure, no deformation, graphics can be designed and output freely by computer, no need for mold, etc. This makes laser processing recognized as an alternative method in the industry.
