In the 19th century, laser machines were initially used in the garment manufacturing industry. However, they are becoming more mainstream due to recent technological developments.
High-density laser beams that may be angled to achieve specific cutting and shaping results are at the heart of laser-cutting technology. This allows for precise cutting of a wide range of fabrics, from delicate to robust, and can be used to emboss leather, shape creative neckties, and enable one-of-a-kind fabric cuts using 3D scanning.
This blog post summarizes why laser cutting is superior to conventional processes in the apparel industry.
PRECISE AND EXCELLENT ACCURACY
In the clothing industry, paying close attention to the garment’s cut and measurements is crucial. Although they have their uses, blades and knives are limited when working with delicate fabrics.
The laser-cutting technique allows for incredibly precise and accurate sculpting and customization of the clothing. The laser technology uses a strong beam that generates a high energy density to cut the fabric into the necessary forms for apparel.
In addition, laser-cutting technology is also crucial for the precise design of leather handbags.
FASTER AND MORE ADAPTABLE PATTERN-MAKING
Cutting patterns for clothing may need precision. Laser cutting is a rapid and precise alternative to the old-fashioned ways.
There is no need to switch the equipment between cutting patterns and materials. Any variety of cloth may be cut and formed using the same set of tools. Moreover, just a small amount of labor is needed.
IDENTIFY FLAWS IN TEXTILE DESIGNS
In addition to helping locate errors in printed materials, laser-cutting technology is useful for several other reasons. The innovation depends on the utilization of two lenses. One records the textile design into a computer, while the other keeps tabs on the factory’s machinery. The computer will show an error or missing pattern if there is one.
SUPPLY CHOICES FOR PERSONALIZATION
Garment manufacturers must be able to accommodate customers who don’t always need one of the conventional sizes (small, medium, or large). It’s not uncommon for individuals to have an occasional need for specially designed garments.
To get the perfect fit, you may scan your body using a laser to create a pattern for your clothing. For this purpose, the system employs a series of sharp, narrow laser strips. The camera then captures the image, giving the scanner more information to work with as it creates custom-fit clothing with all the right finishing touches.
Lefty Production Co. stands out as a market leader among the many Los Angeles-based clothing manufacturers. For accurate and high-quality apparel, we’ve hired a staff of patternmakers and embraced laser cutting technology.
