Applicable laser processes for polyester fabric
2. Laser Engraving
Laser engraving of fabric is to remove (engrave) the material to a certain depth by controlling the power of the CO2 laser beam to obtain contrast, tactile effects or to perform light etching to bleach the color of the fabric.
3. Laser Perforation
One of the desirable processes is laser perforation. This step allows to perforate the polyester fabrics and textiles with a tight array of the holes of the certain pattern and size. It is often required to provide ventilation properties or unique decorative effects to the end product.

What is polyester fabric: Material properties and laser cutting technique
Polyester is a synthetic fibre, usually derived from petroleum. This fabric is one of the most popular textiles in the world and is used in thousands of different consumer and industrial applications. Polyester fabric has excellent characteristics such as low cost, durability, light weight, flexibility, and easy maintenance, making it suitable for manufacturing apparel, home furnishing, outdoor products and many items for industrial purposes.
Polyester absorbs the wavelength of the CO2 laser beam very well and can therefore be easily processed by laser. Laser cutting makes it possible to cut polyester at high speed and with flexibility, and even large fabrics can be completed at a fast rate. There are few design limitations with laser cutting, so more complex designs can be made without burning the fabric. Laser cutter is able to cut sharp lines and rounded corners that is difficult to do with conventional cutting tool.
