Which leather is easy to cut?
-
Leather can be easily cut or engraved with a laser cutter. However, not all types of leather are the same. A distinction is made between smooth leather, suede, suede and imitation leather. All of these types of leather can be processed with the Mr Beam II dreamcut [S] laser cutter. The result depends on the respective type of leather. However, care should be taken with imitation leather. Some types of faux leather contain ingredients that release pollutants when heated. Not only are these pollutants dangerous to your health, they can also damage the laser cutter. If the artificial leather contains the following ingredients, you should not cut the material with the laser cutter:
chlorine
bromine
beryllium oxides
fluorine
chrome
iodine
astatine
carbon fibres
You should therefore first inform yourself about the ingredients of the leather before you start lasering. With the help of a laser cutter, you can make numerous objects from leather. Leather is lasered, for example, in the manufacture of furniture and clothing.

Which leather can be engraved?
-
With the laser cutter from Mr Beam, you can not only cut leather, but also engrave leather. The surface of the material is refined and decorated with a motif. From a simple lettering to an entire picture, anything is possible. Of course, the type of material also plays an important role here. The laser allows precise work and thus creates perfect engravings. The same guidelines apply when engraving leather as when cutting leather. Of course, you can also engrave artificial leather. Since the material usually contains a layer of fabric and is more dimensionally stable than real leather, it is particularly suitable for lasering. Faux leather can be easily cleaned with a damp sponge without deforming.

What do I have to consider when lasering leather?
-
First, you should make sure that the leather can be lasered. Depending on the effect you want to create, you can cut leather or engrave leather. Engraving leather creates an embossing effect. With light leather it is stronger, with dark leather the result is more subtle. It is best if you first carry out a few tests with different types of leather. Not only the properties of the material are important, but also the settings of the laser.
In general, it can be said that it is much easier to have artificial leather lasered. When processing natural leather, there is an unpleasant odour that does not occur with imitation leather. Vegan leather is a special type of artificial leather. It is made of paper and plastic and is extremely robust. Vegan leather can even be washed in the washing machine. Lasering can cause the leather to buckle. In this case, you should reduce the power of the laser.
When lasering leather, the laser beam causes the temperature to rise. The surrounding material is not affected. If you have leather lasered, the cut edge may discolour slightly, but it is immediately sealed. Since the laser is non-contact, there are no pressure points. The laser cutter offers optimal precision and maximum economy.
