High speed cutting of patterned shapes from fabrics

Efficiency in Laser Etching Textiles: The Proportional Relationship of Power and Speed

“…Laser cutting, which originated in engineering is now a standard of practice within the apparel industry at "macro and micro levels" (Juciene, Urbelis, Juchneviciene, Cepukone, 2014, p. 662), used for cutting garment pattern pieces, as well as, cutting or engraving delicate internal shapes (De La Rosa, 2015). Balance of power and velocity is integral in cutting and engraving textiles to prevent fabric damage (Jackson, Preston & Tao, 1995). Therefore, for this experimental research the goal was to answer the following question: How does power and speed affect the cutting and etching of various textiles while frequency is maintained constant with a Trotec Speedy 400 CO2?…”

Laser cutting and etching textiles and apparel design: an experimental study on the implementation and documentation of laser cutting and etching in the apparel design creative process

“…al., 1996). During the laser cutting process, the power and velocity must be controlled in order to regulate and minimize damage from the laser (Jackson et. al., 1995).…”

“…This general parametric relationship will not only be helpful to designers, professionals, and technicians in the apparel industry, but also to laser machine users across many different disciplines. Jackson et. al.…”

“…Automated cutting systems such as laser cutting in the apparel and textile industry have diminished the idea of hand cutting, thus reducing physical and mental stress, poor ergonomics conditions and allowing the creative mind to expand its realm of capabilities during micro cutting processes (De La Rosa, 2015). One of the primary factors that go into cutting and engraving textiles is the control of power and velocity because the correct balance of the two values will prevent the laser from damaging the fabric (Jackson et. al., 1995).…”

Proposta de procedimento de redução de resíduos têxteis no setor de corte em empresas de venda direta

“…Daí a necessidade de gumes cortantes sempre afiados, o que é uma providência dispendiosa para materiais têxteis naturais como algodão, linho, rami, etc., que são bastante abrasivos. do foco sobre o material a ser cortado(KHOURY, 1991);(JACKSON et al, 1995). Além disso, permite altas velocidades de avanço.…”
