Features of laser engraving and cutting of leather

[Zack00]

 

Natural leather is an organic material. A laser beam does not affect the leather itself but substances, tannins and dye staff, that it is cured with. The better the pretreatment, the better will be the result obtained with the laser machine.

Quality of engraving and cutting of leather is also determined by how properly the parameters of power and speed are set up. If the settings are not correct, leather can flame up or shrivel. The quality of processing on the laser machine affects how long the result remains intact.

Faux leather engraving and cutting
Faux leather can be cut and engraved on the laser machine. However, it is not recommended to perform deep engraving. When the depth is too big, the material starts to fringe, crumble, and its particles come off. Even if the product looks nice immediately after the treatment, it will wear out quickly.

When choosing parameters for engraving on faux leather, it is recommended to make a sample item first. Set up the minimal power of the laser machine and gradually increase it until you get the desired result of engraving or cutting.

I agree, Wattsan make really good machines.

Crappy laser machines and crappy advice. If you’re going to spam this site with your substandard laser machines, at least consider becoming an advertiser. I see you also have another account to promote your company.
