Precision in perfectionLaser cut: delicate, sealing – and highly individual

Hard to beat in terms of precision and sharpness – with clean edges and no fraying: the laser cutting process is often the first choice when very delicate and highly individual shapes need to be processed – and at the same time a high degree of fabric resistance is required.

Laser cutting: A process that has proven itself many times over at kragoTEC® and offers a wide range of advantages, particularly characterised by a very high degree of precision. But how does the laser cutting process work and why do kragoTEC® customers in particular, who place great value on the creation of highly resistant structures, rely on it?

How does the laser cutting process work?

Laser cutting process in essence: The laser beam used heats the surface of the material to be cut so much that it melts or even evaporates completely. As soon as the laser beam has completely penetrated the material at one point, the actual cutting begins. As a result, the edges melted during the process produce very resistant fabrics that are well protected against fraying, even with long-term and heavy use, as they have been virtually sealed by the laser cutting process. The process is highly precise and allows for very intricate shapes and patterns, which are prepared using digital CAD planning.

The advantages of the laser cutting process at a glance:

  • Particularly precise cutting of any individual shapes and contours, especially very delicate ones
  • Simultaneous sealing of the edges – and thus long-term protection against fraying, even with frequent use of the hook and loop and fastening systems, such as in the case of medical bandages
  • Versatile application possibilities with different hook and loop qualities – there are no limits to the individually desired shapes
