The concentrated laser energy cleanly slices through Velcro’s hook-and-loop structures, with digital controls ensuring micron-level accuracy. Ultimately, laser-cut Velcro represents a transformative upgrade in customizable fastening systems, merging technical sophistication with manufacturing scalability.
At MimoWork, we excel in advanced laser-cut textile manufacturing, with specialized expertise in Velcro innovation. Our cutting-edge technology addresses industry-wide challenges delivering flawless results for clients worldwide. Beyond precision, we integrate MimoNEST and our Fume Extractor System to eliminate operational hazards like airborne particulates and toxic emissions.
Integrated into wearable tech, Velcro secures sensors and battery packs while allowing easy repositioning.
Replaces buttons and zippers for safer, toddler-friendly outfits.
some brands use velcro with decorative patterns as intentional design elements on accessories.
Laser-cut, weather-resistant Velcro straps secure snow goggles, boot liners, and jacket closures. Sealed edges prevent moisture ingress, critical for sub-zero conditions.
Adjustable Velcro closures on knee pads, helmets, and gloves ensure a customizable fit during dynamic movements.
Military and hiking backpacks use heavy-duty Velcro for MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) systems, enabling rapid attachment of pouches or tools.
Removable Velcro-mounted seat covers, floor mats, and trunk organizers allow drivers to customize interiors effortlessly.

1. Preparation: Choose the right fabric to achieve optimal results.
2. Setting Up: Adjust laser power, speed, and frequency based on the fabric type and thickness. Make sure the software is properly configured for precise control.
3. Fabric Cutting: The automatic feeder moves the fabric to the conveyor table. The laser head, guided by the software, follows the cutting file to ensure accurate cuts.
4. Post-processing: Inspect the cut fabric for quality and finish. Address any necessary trimming or edge sealing to ensure a polished result.
1. Selecting the Right Velcro & Adjusting Settings
Velcro comes in various qualities and thicknesses, so choose a durable, high-quality option that can handle laser cutting. Play around with laser power and speed settings. Slower speeds typically produce cleaner edges, while faster speeds can prevent the material from melting.
2. Test Cuts & Proper Ventilation
Before starting your main project, always conduct test cuts on spare pieces of Velcro to fine-tune your settings. Laser cutting generates fumes, so make sure your workspace is well-ventilated to keep the air clean and safe.
3. Post-Cutting Cleanliness
After cutting, clean the edges to remove any residue. This not only enhances the appearance but also ensures better adhesion if you plan to use the Velcro for fastening purposes.
Velcro, commonly referred to as a “hook-and-loop” fastener. It consists of two pieces of fabric: one side has tiny hooks, and the other has small loops. When pressed together, the hooks and loops interlock, creating a secure bond.
Laser cutting of Velcro can produce a smooth cut with slightly melted edges with no appreciable difference between the wavelengths.
Our machines have a solution that is Fume Extractor. The standard laser exhaust fan is usually configured on the side or bottom of the laser cutting machine, and the smoke will not be inhaled through the connection of the air duct.
