Laser Cutting and Marking of Automotive Interior Upholstery
The automotive industry utilises a diverse range of materials, including textiles, leather, composites and plastics, etc. And these materials are applied in a variety of ways, from car seats, car mats, upholstery interior trim to sunshades and airbags.
CO2 laser processing (laser cutting, laser marking and laser perforation included) is now commonplace within the industry, opens up more possibilities for internal and external applications in automobile production, and offers numerous advantages over traditional mechanical methods. Precise and non-contact laser cutting features a high degree of automation and unparalleled flexibility.
Laser cutting technology is increasingly used in the automotive industry for its high precision, high speed, high flexibility and perfect processing effect. The following are automotive products or accessories for automotive interiors and exteriors that are known to be laser-processed on the market.
