In this video we are going to cut different types of fabrics with a laser cutter to see how this is done. This way of cutting can be the dream of anyone who converts patterns into sewing, or who works with products that need to be covered with fabric.
The laser I use in this video is a Two Trees Totem S laser, but you can use any other Diode laser for this, such as the Ortur and NeJe machines. If you don't have a laser cutter yet, check out the various reviews on my channel.

I often use my diode laser to cut odd shaped fabrics for my wife the quilting queen. Works great on all kinds of fabrics.

I've used my laser to cut gaskets from cork and gasket paper but hadn't thought of using it for cutting cloth. Thanks for the video!

I never thought of using the laser to make gaskets, but that is an excellent idea. Thank you.

Hi Brian! I've been using my eleksmaker A3 pro to cut fabrics easily without burning them. Glad to see that someone like you who's not supposed to sew a garment, gives some inspirational use of laser cutter.

Depending on the material, yes. The microfiber cloths don't have the smell anymore after washing. The T-Shirt (95% Cotton) still smell's.

Nice video.. I hve a question.. we use hot knife to cut white polyster fabric of about 1mm thick which is slightly shiny.. can i use this 5.5 wat laser to cut it with ease?

@3dPrintCreator 3 ай бұрын

I wouldn't do it as Polyester fabric gives a nasty, unhealty fume when burned with a laser. There fumes are very toxic and also very corosive to the laser.

@3dPrintCreator 6 ай бұрын

I have tried that, and it works as long as you are going very fast with the movements. I will never make a video about it, because it's pretty dangerous to melt this material. The fumes are really bad. I don't want my followers to do things that are unhealthy.

There is no answer to this question. Yes, there are white synthetic fabrics that can be cut. Does this mean avery white sysnthetic fabric can be cut? No. How thick is the fabric? How reflective is it? What is the melting temperature? Etc. Etc. You wioll have to test this for every specific fabric.

It will cut any shape you give it via the software. When your input is a pattern, it will cut it.

@neilgillies6943 2 жыл бұрын

Why not make a sliding circular "shoe" that fits the bottom of the laser - same as a sewing machine - that way, it'll hold focus and still slip over the material without workholding?

@3dPrintCreator 2 жыл бұрын

Normally you don't want anything to touch the material (in this case, fabric) you are cutting. The reason is that if you cut things, they will be objects that move around on your workspace.

Can I cut white felt with the ortur 10w laser?

@3dPrintCreator Жыл бұрын

I don't know. For a laser to produce heat, the light needs to be absorbed instead of reflected. In white materials, there is only a little heat absorption because of the reflection, yet for felt, you only need just a little bit of heat.

@drunknspike Жыл бұрын

@@3dPrintCreator thanx I've asked ortur if it's possible as noone seems to know and I don't want to buy a laser if it cannot cut the felt as that's the main use I want it for thanx for your reply 👍

@@drunknspike I hope they can give you an answer to your question. For now, I have been looking in my pile of felt, but I only have darker colours and no white, so I can't check it for you. On Saturdays we have a market in town where they sell felt, and if I stumble across it, I will buy some and test it for you. I would also like to know if it is compatible.

hi.i have 15watts and can't cut white or lightr colour thin fabric.But can get clear cut for darker colour.Can u please explain sir

@3dPrintCreator 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, in fact it is very simple. Cutting with light happens because light is transferred into heat, because the light is absorbed in the material. The more reflective a material is, less light will be transferred into heat, because a lot of light is reflected.

@3dPrintCreator 3 ай бұрын

The only thing I can say to this is, please scroll down and take a look for yourself. I don't feel like I am disrespectful to anybody. In the few cases where someone asked a question about the brand and type of laser I use and how to use it, I asked whether the person had already watched the title of the video and the video itself? For the rest I have given everyone a normal answer, just like I answer you.

Thanks for this video on fabrics am very new to diode laser. And i want to try fabric cutting design with my new diode 90w laser. My question Can i place wet paper towel under the fabric to reduce risk of fire ? And please what speed and power will you suggest for me on 90w diode laser Thanks very much

@3dPrintCreator 2 жыл бұрын

At first, how much watt is your laser really, I mean optically. Then, I would not place a wat paper towel under the laser as the laser does dry the material in no time. I would rather make the fabric wet, as this won't do much with the cutting time at all.
