Laser machines formerly used to engrave wood for jewelry makers are being used to cut pieces of fabric to prolong the use of face masks
Scientists have developed a cost-efficient and scalable method of rapidly fabricating textiles embedded with energy storage devices using lasers
Eurolaser is one of the winners of this year's TOP 100 innovation competition
Eurolaser is presenting a patented new development for cutting wool with lasers at the ITMA Textile & Garment Technology Exhibition in June.
Previously, textiles had to be protected from fraying after cutting with knife cutters by means of linking or edging. Eurolaser asked itself: “Is that really necessary?”. No, it isn’t! Using this new Cut`n Protect Technology, means that these additional work steps are not required, which saves time because the laser provides lasting protection from fraying merely because of the cutting process.
Those interested in eurolaser products can see the L-1200 laser system with conveyor table in action at interzum in Hall 10.1 at Stand G044/H045
