Leather is tough and offers strong resistance to every tool used on it aside from the laser beam.
Laser processing is contact-free and produces consistent results without wear and tear.
The laser beam melts the material and produces perfectly clean and sealed edges on the surface of the leather.
No. In laser processing, no pressure is exerted on the material. No clamping or other type of fixation is required. Simply insert the workpiece and start lasering. This saves time and money in material preparation.
Perfect sealed edges with laser cut leather
Productive processing
Non-contact processing
Simple high-quality manufacturing
One tool for all shapes
No tool wear
Genuine leather is a natural material, and there are countless types that respond individually to laser processing. Therefore, it is difficult to determine general rules for processing. Generally, however, the following can be said: If genuine leather is distorted, reduce the laser power. This is because too much heat acts on the material.
You can process both genuine and synthetic leather, aka. Leatherette, with the laser. Note, however, that synthetic leather often contains PVC compounds. Such materials must not be processed with the laser. There is a danger that harmful gases may be released.
One must distinguish between genuine leather and leatherette here. For genuine leather, we unfortunately cannot recommend any cleaning agents. Too aggressive cleaning agents can dry the material out or form spots. If you still want to use a cleaning agent, please try this on an inconspicuous area or even better on a test strip. Leatherette, by contrast, can be easily cleaned with a damp sponge without losing its shape.
