Works together with the feeding system without human intervention. The whole cutting process is continuous, accurate and with high quality. Fast and more fabric production like apparel, home textile, functional gear is easy to fulfill. One fabric laser cutting machine can replace 3~5 labors that saves lots of costs. (Easy to get 500 sets of digitally printed garments with 6 pieces in an 8-hour shift.)
The machine uses upper and lower exhaust to help remove smoke and dust from the cutting area. Vacuum suction helps hold fabric flat on the conveyor table. The extraction and filtration setup should match the material being processed and the installation conditions.
— Optional working table types: conveyor table, fixed table (knife strip table, honey comb table)
— Optional working table sizes: 1600mm * 1000mm, 1800mm * 1000mm, 1600mm * 3000mm
• Meet varied demands for coiled fabric, pieced fabric and different formats.
Customize your design, Mimo-Cut software will instruct the right laser cutting on fabric. MimoWork cutting software is developed to be closer to our client's needs, more user-friendly, and more compatible with our machines.
- Signal Light
You can monitor the laser cutter status directly, helping to track productivity and avert danger.
- Emergency Button
The emergency button is intended to provide you with a high-quality safeguarding component for your laser machine. It features a simplistic, yet straightforward design that can be easily operated, greatly adding safety measures.
- Safe Circuit
Superior electronic component. It is anti-rust and corrosion-resistant as its powder-coated surface promises longer-term usage. Make sure the operation stability.
- Extension Table
The extension table is convenient for collecting fabric being cut, especially for some small fabric pieces like plush toys. After cutting, these fabrics can be conveyed to the collection area, eliminating manual collecting.
The Auto Feeder and Conveyor Table form a continuous roll-processing system for batch production. Low-tension feeding helps preserve the fabric's shape, while contactless laser cutting avoids blade pressure on the material. Together, they keep fabric moving from the roll through cutting, reducing repeated loading by hand and supporting efficient production.
Most simply and economically to speed up your production efficiency is to mount multiple laser heads on the same gantry and cut the same pattern simultaneously. This doesn't take extra space or labor. If you need to cut a lot of identical patterns, this would be a perfect choice for you.
When you are trying to cut a whole lot of different designs and want to save material to the largest degree, Nesting Software will be a good choice for you. By selecting all the patterns you want to cut and setting the numbers of each piece, the software will nest these pieces with the most usage rate to save your cutting time and roll materials. Send the nesting layout to the Flatbed Laser Cutter 180 for cutting. With the selected feeding and conveyor configuration, the machine supports continuous roll processing while the operator monitors production.
Melting the surface of the material to achieve the perfect cutting result, CO2 laser processing may generate lingering gases, pungent odor, and airborne residues when you are cutting synthetic chemical materials and the CNC router can't deliver the same precision that laser does. MimoWork Laser Filtration System can help one puzzle out the bothersome dust and fumes while minimizing disruption to production.

3. Start laser cutting
4. Collect
More Fabrics you can laser cut:
• Polyester • Denim • Felt • Canvas • Foam • Brushed Fabric • Non-woven • Nylon • Silk • Spandex • Spacer Fabric • Synthetic Fabric • Leather • Insulation Material
The choice between a CO2 laser and a CNC oscillating knife cutting machine for textile cutting depends on your specific needs, the type of textiles you work with, and your production requirements. Both machines have their advantages and disadvantages, so let's compare them to help you make an informed decision:
1. Precision:
CO2 lasers offer high precision and can cut intricate designs and patterns with fine details. They produce clean, sealed edges, which is important for certain applications.
1. Material Compatibility:
CNC oscillating knife machines are well-suited for cutting a wide variety of materials, including textiles, foams, and flexible plastics. They are particularly suitable for thick and rigid materials.
2. Versatility:
CO2 lasers can cut a wide range of fabrics, both natural and synthetic, including delicate materials like silk and lace. They are also suitable for cutting synthetic materials and leather.
2. Versatility:
While they may not offer the same level of precision for intricate designs as CO2 lasers, CNC oscillating knife machines are versatile and can be used for a range of cutting and trimming applications.
For single-layer textiles with intricate contours, CO2 laser cutting can offer a speed advantage over oscillating knife cutting. CO2 laser cutting machines can reach maximum speeds of 300–500 mm/s, depending on the model and configuration. On suitable synthetic fabrics, the laser also seals the edges as it cuts, reducing edge-finishing work and helping shorten the overall production process.
3. Lower Maintenance:
Knife cutters do not have the laser tubes and optical components used in CO2 systems, but blade wear brings recurring replacement work. In textile production, blades may need to be replaced every few hours to maintain cut quality. CO2 lasers cut without blades, reducing interruptions for blade changes.
CO2 lasers minimize fraying and unraveling of fabric edges due to the heat-affected zone being relatively small.
CNC knife cutters do not generate a heat-affected zone, so there is no risk of fabric distortion or melting.
Unlike CNC oscillating knife machines, CO2 lasers do not require tool changes, making them more efficient for handling a variety of cutting tasks.
For many textiles, CNC oscillating knives can produce cleaner cuts with minimal risk of burning or charring compared to CO2 lasers.
In this video, we revealed the game-changing strategies that will skyrocket your machine's efficiency, propelling it to outshine even the most formidable CNC cutters in the realm of fabric cutting.
Get ready to witness a revolution in cutting-edge technology as we unlock the secrets to dominating the CNC vs. laser landscape.
If you primarily work with delicate fabrics and require high precision for intricate designs, the additional added value is what you are looking for, a CO2 laser may be the better choice.
If you want to cut multiple layers at one time for mass production with low requirements on clean edges, a CNC oscillating knife cutter may be more versatile.
Budget and maintenance requirements also play a role in your decision. Smaller, entry-level CNC oscillating knife-cutting machines can start at around $10,000 to $20,000. Larger, industrial-grade CNC oscillating knife-cutting machines with advanced automation and customization options can range from $50,000 to several hundred thousand dollars. These machines are suitable for large-scale production and can handle heavy-duty cutting tasks. The textile laser cutting machine costs much less than this.
Ultimately, the choice between a CO2 laser and a CNC oscillating knife cutting machine for textile cutting should be based on your specific needs, production requirements, and the types of materials you handle.
