As an alternative to fixing objects, Velcro® is very popular in the apparel, footwear and automotive industries (as well as others) for its lightweight, washable and durable properties, thanks to its ability to provide a firm grip under tension, but easily separated when necessary.
The hooks of Velcro® and other hook and loop fasteners are usually made from nylon or polyester. The special structure of Velcro materials makes it difficult to meet certain requirements with conventional machining methods such as knife and punching processes. CO2 laser cutting machines from goldenlaser has proven to be ideally suited to the cutting of Velcro materials, producing a smooth and exact cutting with slightly melted edges.
