INTRODUCTION

Laser cutting is a very popular form of production as part of the manufacturing process for the fashion industry, in particular during London Fashion Week, creating some very unique ranges of clothing.

This very accurate and successful method of cutting a variety of fabrics allows fine cut detail to be achieved creating exquisite results. The particular process of laser cutting lends itself to extremely intricate designs, resulting in stunning effects for fashion garments and accessories.

TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESSTECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS

Technology-LASER, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is a beam of monochromatic coherent radiation.

An intensified vacuum force is automatically applied to the area directly to further restrict material shifting laser cutting focuses a powerful beam of light projected onto a minute area to cut fabric by vaporization.

The fine, V-shaped beam is only 0.004 of an inch.

Laser cutters work their magic by focusing a high-powered laser onto a material

The beam cuts without pressure on the fabrics, which is advantage for some types of fabric.

Laser cut with incredible speed, accuracy, and multidirectional ability, but with some heat emission ,laser cut edges are sharp and clean, the heat produced tends to seal fabric edges which can be advantage for fabric that ravels and a disadvantage for cutting multiple plies as edges may fuse together.

ADVANTAGES

No mechanical contact with fabric Cuts intricate shapes very easily Edges are sealed during the process The laser can work with stretch fabrics Loss of material is minimal High accuracy: It is the only technology

to cut or mark intricate drawings Excellent cut quality wherever it can be

applied High processing speed Compared to other thermal cutting

processes, very narrow heat-affected zone

CONCLUSION CONCLUSION

Laser cut garments have flooded the high street. It’s easy to forget that they haven’t always been so readily available. This is more than a trend: it is also underpinned by the adoption of new technologies.

Consumers are becoming more interested in textures and appreciative of technique. Happily, laser cutting technologies were more readily available to garment and fabric manufacturers. Laser cutting no longer had to be outsourced to bespoke companies, but could be a process integrated into clothing production,
