LASER + EMBROIDERY

Laser cutting applied to embroidery in the fashion industry refers to the use of laser technology to perform precise cuts on materials subjected to embroidery processes. This approach combines the precision of laser cutting with the decorative or functional workings of embroidery. Here is how it can be implemented:

1. Embroidery Design:

Designers create a detailed drawing that includes the specific locations where embroidery will be applied and where laser cuts will be made.

2. Laser Programming:

The laser machine is programmed with information from the drawing to determine the areas where the cuts will be made. Programming can be done manually or using specialised software.

3. Fabric or Material Preparation:

The fabric or material on which the embroidery and laser cutting will be performed is prepared for the process. It may be stretched on a frame to facilitate the operation.

4. Execution of Embroidery:

Embroidery is performed on the surface of the fabric or material according to the predetermined design. This may involve the stitching of threads or the application of other decorative elements.

5. Laser cutting during or after embroidery:

The laser machine can be used at the same time as the embroidery is performed or afterwards to make precise cuts in specific areas of the fabric.

These cuts can be used to create additional details, specific shapes or to cut out parts of the fabric to add depth to the overall design.

6. Quality Control:

Each piece is carefully checked to ensure that the embroidery is done correctly and that the laser cuts are accurate.

7. Fixing and Finishing:

If necessary, the embroidery threads are fixed to the fabric and the material can undergo finishing processes such as ironing.

8. Packaging and Delivery:

After quality control, the pieces are packed and delivered to the customer.

The application of laser cutting to embroidery can open up creative possibilities and enable the production of garments with unique and intricate details. The combination of these two techniques offers a wider range of design options in the fashion industry.

In addition to Patchwork, other types of items can also be produced with the Laser+ Embroidery combo: combining shapes, techniques and combining more types of materials, fabrics, leathers.
