1. High precision
The laser cutting machine uses a laser beam to cut, and its cutting accuracy can reach the millimeter level, and can easily cut out fabrics of various shapes and sizes. They can also perform various operations such as scaling and rotation to achieve highly customized requirements. Compared with traditional fabric cutting methods, the Atomstack S30 Pro laser cutting machine can ensure the exact size and shape of the cut fabric, thereby reducing waste and errors.
2. No mold required
Traditional fabric cutting requires the use of a large number of molds, which require a lot of time and cost to design, manufacture and maintain. The laser cutting machine does not need to use any molds, but only needs to set the cutting program through the computer, thus saving all the cost and time of manufacturing and storing molds.
3. Fast cutting speed
The cutting speed of Atomstack laser cutting machine is faster than traditional mechanical cutting, because the laser cutting machine can realize the automation and assembly line operation of large batch production tasks through computer software and automatic control system. And, since the fabric is cut without rubbing or pinching, it cuts faster, increasing productivity.
Four, a wide range of applications
Laser engraver has a wide range of applications and can be used in various shapes and types of fabrics, such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, synthetic materials, and more. They can cut various shapes of clothes, rugs, sofas, car cushions and other home decoration and home textile products. At the same time, they can also cut consumer goods such as clothing, hats, shoes and bags in various shapes, so they are very suitable for various processes and applications.
5. Reduce waste and cost
The LaserPecker 3 laser cutting machine can cut fabric according to the requirements of computer design, so it can make better use of fabric and minimize waste. Compared with traditional mechanical cutting, the cutting line of laser cutting machine is very thin, so the amount of wasted fabric will be reduced a lot, thus reducing the cost.
6. No damage
Laser cutting machines do not damage the fabric because the heat of the laser beam is only focused on the area that needs to be cut. Compared with traditional mechanical cutting, it is easy to cause fabric damage due to the pressure generated by mechanical contact with the fabric. As a non-contact cutting method, the laser cutting machine can avoid damage and deformation of the fabric.
7. High efficiency and automation
Laserpecker 2 laser cutting machine has the advantages of high efficiency and automation. With the support of computer software, the laser cutting machine can realize automatic cutting without manual intervention. In this way, large-volume production tasks can be easily handled, production time and costs can be saved, and production efficiency can be improved.
To sum up, the laser cutting machine has significant advantages in fabric cutting, such as high precision, no need for molds, fast cutting speed, wide application range, reduction of waste and cost, no damage, high efficiency and automation. Therefore, they have become an important tool in the field of fabric cutting.
There&#;s a reason why - outside of the various experiments by hobbyists and others - you don&#;t see any low-cost semiconductor-based laser cutters or engravers.
If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Fabric Laser Cutting Machine.
The main reason is cost per watt.
If you start to price out what it would cost using semiconductor lasers (either monolithic or combined beam) to get the same wattage as a gas tube laser, you quickly find that gas tube lasers are much cheaper per watt - at least currently.
Furthermore, there&#;s a question of what wavelength to use - which will effect your choice of what laser to use. As noted by Sam&#;s Laser FAQ on Carbon Dioxide Lasers:
&#;Unlike the other lasers producing visible or short near-IR light, the output of a CO2 laser is medium-IR radiation at 10.6 um. At this wavelength, normal glass and plastics are opaque, and water completely absorbs the energy in the beam. The 10.6 um energy is ideal for cutting, engraving, welding, heat treating, and other industrial processing of many types of materials including (as appropriate): metals, ceramics, plastics, wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, composites, and much much more.&#;
This is why you see such cutters and engravers use a CO2 laser tube - it&#;s the proper tool for the job in the majority of cases.
In fact - I would highly encourage you to read the entirety of the Sam&#;s Laser FAQ as it will likely answer all of your questions on lasers, usage, and safety.
Basically - you are likely to spend more money on trying to create a semiconductor-based laser cutter or engraver - and the results will likely be disappointing - than if you spent the money on a proper laser cutter/engraving machine.
Something you need to ask yourself is &#;what is my goal?&#; - is your goal to experiment and learn about how to build a laser cutter (even if it doesn&#;t work or works poorly)? Or is your goal to be able to actually process materials for a project using a laser cutter?
If the former, then continue to play - just be aware that you may spend a lot of money, time, and effort - but if this is worth it for the learning experience to you, then go for it. If, however, your goal is the latter - then trying to build your own laser cutter is not likely the best choice; you would be better off spending the money on a pre-built device. There are many options available, for fairly low costs (depending on how much you plan to use them - none are really low cost if you don&#;t plan on using them fairly often).
There&#;s always the small and low-cost (under ~$500 USD now) Chinese laser cutter/engravers; just note that while these are low cost, then can be very finicky to get working from what I understand; here in the States, we have a company in Las Vegas (Full Spectrum Laser) that imports them, does the &#;re-work&#;, then resells them at a higher price (basically making sure things work properly for the end buyer).
The next step up - while still giving a DIY option (to an extent) - is this kit - which honestly I think is the best &#;bang for the buck&#; - if you are willing to spend the time putting such a kit together.
Beyond this, you are looking at machines by companies like Universal Laser Systems - the &#;name brands&#; in laser cutting/engraving - and they have prices to match. But they do have top-quality equipment.
Something to note when it comes to laser cutters that use CO2 lasers (mainly the water-cooled tubes; the ULS systems acutally use (I believe) an RF excited tube that is air-cooled - which is a different tech) - is that the more you use the tube, the longer it&#;s lifespan - so if you decide to go down the route of building your own laser cutter using a tube, purchase the tube last; also if you purchase a pre-made machine, use it often to get the maximum life out of the tube. In other words, tubes for CO2 lasers have a shelf-life, and they pre-maturely fail the less they are used.
Also - if your goal is materials processing - then you might also look into a CNC router; while not as fast as a laser cutter, it can typically do the same kind of work, provided you don&#;t mind the wider kerf - that is, the width of the cut (I think of a laser cutter as a CNC router with a very small kerf).
Finally - note that whether you use a laser cutter or a CNC router - you are going to have to deal with a &#;mess&#; - in the case of a CNC router, it&#;s a bunch of &#;dust&#; that you&#;ll have to vacuum up and keep clean. In the case of a laser cutter - you have to deal with smoke and gasses created by the &#;cutting&#; process. You need to have some way to ventilate the machine, possibly scrubbing the gases (mainly for smell), and also deal with not letting the gasses/smoke get on the lens/mirrors of the machine (so you usually need a compressed air-source as well directing a jet of air at the exit aperture). Also with a laser cutter or engraver - never walk away from the machine while it is in operation (this especially includes homebrew builds). The material being cut or engraved can catch fire - so you need to be able to watch for that and take measures if needed, to put it out. Also - never cut PVC in a laser cutter - it&#;ll release chlorine gas (poisonous). Never cut styrene (or foam board) - it&#;ll easily catch fire.
I&#;m going to stop here - I&#;ve almost written a book. I don&#;t have a lot of experience with laser cutters (I&#;ve only used one - a ULS 60 watt job at my local TechShop), but I have studied the heck out of things (up to and including homebrew CO2 lasers - which you want to stay away from if your goal is to make a cutting machine); ultimately, if I do get a machine of my own, it will either be one from that company in Vegas, or that kit I mentioned. But then again, my goal has been to have a machine to cut things - not to learn how to build them. Your goal(s) may be different, but you need to consider them first.
