Why Invest in a LaserCAM System?
Lasers are about the simplest way possible to get from CAD drawing to finished product. They work with extraordinary accuracy and delicacy, are quick to produce results, and the finished edge is usually just that - finished. With a few important exceptions, lasers will cut and engrave a huge variety of materials, so just about every area of Design and Technology is able to get the benefit. LaserCAM is, essentially, a 2D machine so it will find its place alongside milling and knife cutting machines, to give students a realistic experience of real-world practice, and to give them the right mix of tools for specific applications.

So What Can I Cut With a LaserCAM?
Apart from metal and vinyl, most workshop plastics, textiles and graphic materials are fine. For details of non-textiles please refer to the main TechSoft Product Guide. Great effects on a variety of textiles can be achieved – from the finest organza to the stiff
Vilene S133 non-woven (great for 3D textiles), plus everything in between. Finer fabrics benefit from being temporarily stuck down onto a card backing so that pieces, as they are cut, don’t blow about and get in the way. A comprehensive guide to suggested cutting and engraving settings is supplied with the TechSoft Laser Inset Pack – however every fabric will vary so testing is an important part of the learning for students. The only fabrics to avoid are those with a chloride content such as PVC, heat applied textile vinyl or synthetic leathers, or waterproofed fabrics.
