Lasers: Not Just for Sci-Fi
Learn how New York Embroidery Studio Uses Lasers
When people think of lasers, most think of sci-fi movies with futuristic technology and superheroes who can shoot laser rays out of their eyes. Not many know that lasers are a crucial part of the fashion industry!
Lasers became an early concept in the 1950s, but the first operating laser was created by Theodore Maiman in 1960. Initially, lasers were used for scientific experiments in physics and chemistry, then the dermatological benefits were discovered, and it wasn’t until 1964 that the first laser cutter was created. By 1978, laser engraving was used for the first time. Laser cutting was introduced into the textile industry in the 1980s and quickly became the standard for pattern cutting and detailing due to the increased precision and efficiency. Here at New York Embroidery Studio, we specialize in various laser techniques on many different materials!
Embossing and Debossing
Embossing and debossing are methods used to add texture and dimension to materials, creating an impression of a particular shape, style, or pattern. Embossing raises the selected design from the material’s surface, resulting in a raised or relief effect. Debossing does the opposite by creating an indentation or depression on the material’s surface, producing a sunken or pressed-in effect. This technique is most effective on leather and similar materials. New York Embroidery Studio can craft custom molds to emboss or deboss anything onto your projects.
Laser Cutting Fabric
Fabric laser-cutting is a method that provides precise and detailed cutting. The laser beam melts or vaporizes the fabric along the specified path, creating clean, sealed edges that do not fray. This technique offers several advantages, such as precision, speed, and the capability to cut intricate details that are challenging to achieve with traditional cutting methods.
Laser Cutting Metal
Metal laser-cutting is a highly accurate and adaptable technique that employs laser technology to cut and shape metal materials with exceptional precision. This sophisticated method enables the creation of intricate and complex designs in a variety of metals, such as steel, aluminum, brass, and more.
