Flexible laser processing simplifies creation and modification of designs.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are employed in the manufacture of a wide variety of textiles, including natural and synthetic materials, in both the fashion and automotive industries.

Laser processing is flexible, allowing designs to be created and modified with ease; textures and designs can be applied to sheets of fabric or finished items, and the whole process is both repeatable and adaptable. Compared with traditional processing, lasers can save both time and money, increasing productivity, improving quality, and reducing environmental impact.

Within the fashion industry, items including clothing, buttons, shoes, and bags can be processed using lasers. The automotive industry uses the same lasers to process a range of fabrics for car interiors, including seats, seat belts, airbags, interior trim, and carpets .
