Fabric Laser Cutting


My first laser cut onto fabric was the pink material (cotton), i deleted some of the unwanted extra layers and set the cutter to cut through. The heat of the laser cutter and the kind of fabric formed almost like a hard outlined which fused together the cut out areas, so they remained connected to the material. It worked wel because of this happy accident, when held up to the light i could imagine the design as curtains very well.
My second cut was onto "Brushed Linen Cotton", although i set the laser cutter to cut through it didnt really cut, it was more of a slight engrave. The design came out very subtle, im unsure weather i like it or not because certain aspects of it are effective but it wasnt as i wanted it, but at the same time it was only an experiment and it had an unusual turn out.
