Laser Textile Cutting – Automated Fabric Cutting Machine
Automated Laser Textile Cutting
For Clothing, Sports Gear, Industrial Use
Cutting textiles is a key step in creating everything from clothing and accessories to sports gear and insulation.
For manufacturers, the big focus is all about boosting efficiency and trimming down costs—think labor, time, and energy.
We know you’re on the hunt for top-notch textile cutting tools.
That’s where CNC textile cutting machines come into play, like the CNC knife cutter and the CNC textile laser cutter. These tools are increasingly popular because they offer a high level of automation.
When it comes to cutting quality, though, laser textile cutting really takes the cake.
To meet the diverse needs of manufacturers, designers, and startups, we’ve been hard at work developing cutting-edge technology in textile laser cutting machines.

• Benefits from Laser Textile Cutting
High Automation:
Features like automatic feeding systems and conveyor belts enhance productivity and reduce manual labor.
High Precision:
CO2 laser has a fine laser spot that can reach 0.3mm in diameter, bringing a thin and precise kerf with the help of a digital control system
Fast Speed:
Excellent cutting effect avoids the post-trimming and other processes. The cutting speed is fast thanks to the powerful laser beam and agile structure.
Versatility:
Capable of cutting various textile materials, including synthetic and natural fabrics.
Customization:
Machines can be tailored with additional options like dual laser heads and camera positioning for specialized needs.
Wide Applications: Laser Cut Textiles
1. Clothing and Apparel
Laser cutting allows for precision and creativity in garment production.
Examples: Dresses, suits, T-shirts, and intricate lace designs.
2. Fashion Accessories
Ideal for creating detailed and custom accessory pieces.
Examples: Scarves, belts, hats, and handbags.
3. Home Textiles
Enhances the design and functionality of household fabrics.
Examples: Curtains, bed linens, upholstery, and tablecloths.
4. Technical Textiles
Used for specialized textiles with specific technical requirements.
Examples: Medical textiles, automotive interiors, and filtration fabrics.
5. Sportswear & Activewear
Ensures precision and performance in sports and active clothing.
Examples: Jerseys, yoga pants, swimwear, and cycling gear.
6. Decorative Arts
Perfect for creating unique and artistic textile pieces.
Examples: Wall hangings, fabric art, and decorative panels.
Technology Innovation
1. Higher Cutting Efficiency: Multiple Laser Cutting Heads
To meet higher yield production and higher cutting speed,
MimoWork developed multiple laser cutting heads (2/4/6/8 laser cutting heads).
The laser heads can work simultaneously, or run independently.
Check out the video to find out how the multiple laser heads work.

2. Ink-jet Marking & Cutting on One Machine
We know many fabrics to be cut will go through the sewing process.
For fabric pieces requiring sewing marks or product series numbers,
you need to mark and cut on the fabric.
The Ink-Jet Laser Cutter satisfies the two requirements.

Besides, we have the marker pen as another option.
The two realize the marking on the cloth before and after laser cutting.
Different ink or marker pen colors are optional.
Suitable Materials: Polyester, Polypropylenes, TPU, Acrylic and almost all Synthetic Fabrics.
3. Saving Time: Collecting while Cutting
The textile laser cutter with an extension table is an innovation in saving time.
An extra extension table provides a collection area for safer collecting.
During laser cutting textiles, you can collect the finished pieces.
Less time, and bigger profit!

4. Cutting Sublimation Fabric: Camera Laser Cutter
For sublimation fabrics like sportswear, skiwear, teardrop flags and banners,
the standard laser cutter is not enough to realize precise cutting.
You need the camera laser cutter (also called contour laser cutter).
Its camera can recognize the pattern position and direct the laser head to cut along the contour.

The camera is the eye of the textile laser cutting machine.
We have three recognition software for the camera laser cutter.
• CCD Camera Recognition System
They are suitable for different fabrics and accessories.

5. Maximize Textile Utilization: Auto-Nesting Software
The auto-nesting software is designed to maximize the utilization of the materials like fabric or leather.
The nesting process will be finished automatically after you import the cutting file.
Taking reducing waste as a principle, the auto-nest software adjusts the spacing, direction, and numbers of graphics into an optimal nesting.
We made a video tutorial about how to use the nest software to improve laser cutting.
Check it out.

6. Higher Efficiency: Laser Cut Multiple Layers
Yes! You can laser cut Lucite.
The laser is powerful and with a fine laser beam, can cut through the Lucite into a wide range of shapes and designs.
Among many laser sources, we recommend you use the CO2 Laser Cutter for Lucite cutting.
CO2 laser cutting Lucite is like laser cutting acrylic, producing an excellent cutting effect with a smooth edge and clean surface.

7. Cutting Ultra-long Textile: 10 Meters Laser Cutter
For common fabrics like clothing, accessories, and filter cloth, the standard laser cutter is enough.
But for large formats of textiles like sofa covers, aviation carpets, outdoor advertising, and sailing,
you need an ultra-long laser cutter.
We have designed a 10-meter laser cutter for a client in the outdoor advertising field.
Check out the video to have a look.

Besides, we offer the Contour Laser Cutter 320 with a width of 3200mm and a length of 1400mm.
That can contour cutting large format of sublimation banners and teardrop flags.
If you have other special textile sizes, please contact us,
our laser expert will evaluate your requirements and customize a suitable laser machine for you.
8. Other Laser Innovation Solution
MimoPROTOTYPE automatically recognizes the outlines and sewing darts of each material piece
Finally automatically generates the design files that you can import into your CAD software directly.
laser layout projector software, the overhead projector can cast the shadow of the vector files in a ratio of 1:1 on the working table of the laser cutters.
In this way, one can adjust the placement of the material to achieve a precise cutting effect.
