Laser Cutting of Nylon, Polyamide (PA) and Ripstop Textiles
Laser Solutions for Nylon, Polyamide (PA)
Goldenlaser offers laser cutting machines for nylon fabrics, tailored to the specific processing requirements (e.g. various nylon variants, different dimensions and shapes).
Nylon is a generic name for several synthetic polyamides. As a man-made synthetic fiber derived from petrochemical products, nylon is very strong and elastic, making it a fiber that is most likely to remain in production and use. From fashion, parachutes, and military vests to carpets and luggage, nylon is a very useful fiber in many applications.
As one of the major steps within the manufacturing process, the method in which you decide to cut your materials will have an enormous impact on the quality of your finished product. The way your materials are cut must be accurate, efficient and flexible, which is why laser cutting has quickly become one of the most widely used methods in the manufacturing industry.

Material information about nylon and laser cutting of nylon
Firstly successfully being commercialized as synthetic thermoplastic polymer, nylon 6,6 are launched by DuPont as military clothing, specialty textiles, medical devices. With high resistance of abrasion, high tenacity, rigidity and toughness, elasticity, nylon can be melt-processed into different fibers, films, or shape and play versatile roles in apparel, flooring, electrical equipment and molded parts for automotive and aviation. Combined with blending and coating technology, nylon has developed many variations. Nylon 6, nylon 510, nylon-cotton, nylon-polyester are taking on responsibilities in various occasions.
As an artificial composite material, nylon can be perfectly cut on laser cutter. No worry about material distortion and damage, laser systems featured by contactless and forceless processing. Superior colorfastness and dying for varieties of colors, printed and dyed nylon fabrics can be laser cut into accurate patterns and shapes. Supported by recognition systems, laser cutter will be your good helper in processing nylon materials.
Laser cut nylon can be used for the following applications:
We recommend the following CO2 laser machines for the cutting of nylon:
Textile Laser Cutting Machine
CO2 flatbed laser cutter is designed for wide textile rolls and soft materials automatically and continuously cutting.
Ultra-long Table Size Laser Cutter
Specialty 6 meter to 13 meter bed sizes for extra long materials, tent, sailcloth, parachute, paraglider, canopy, sunshade, aviation carpets…
Galvo & Gantry Laser Machine
The galvanometer offers high speed engraving, perforating and cutting of thin materials, while X-Y Gantry allows processing of thicker stock.
