Laser Engraving and Cutting






All of the pictures and samples above are courtesy of BITO http://www.bitousa.com/LaserSamples1.htm who was kind enough to provide them to me. I tried to show you just some of the wide range of effects that can be achieved with lasers as well as the different size laser cutters that are available. There is pretty much a laser cutter to serve every need and every budget. You can cut through one layer of fabric or multiple layer of fabric to create multi-color appliques in one operation. You can also adjust the laser to just etch the surface of the fabric or of leather. The designs can be as simple as the combination etching and cutting of the flower design, or as complex as the photo-realistic portrait of the woman's face. The intricate cutwork on the woman's boot panel is illustrative of its unlimited design potential in footwear, handbags, and just about any segment of fashion. If you want to be on the forefront of garment decoration, a laser cutter should be at the top of your wish list.

The Nike Dunk Hi Premium with Laser Substraits


The Nike Dunk Hi Premium with Laser Substraits
Originally used in industries such as car manufacturing, electronics and furniture texturing, laser technology has been a tool in Nike’s shoe design headquarters for years. But it was in 2003 that Nike Designer Mark Smith pioneered the use of lasers for decorating leather, fine-tuning the process to a level that allowed incredibly detailed designs to be burned into Nike products. It wasn’t long before famed footwear like the Cortez, Jordan and AF1 were etched with intricate, tattoo / graffiti graphics, models that are still coveted by sneaker collectors around the world. But laser-etched leather had a design limitation: no matter what the upper’s colorway was, the burned-out designs were always brown, leather’s interior color.

Called a “substrait,” Jesse Leyva’s team wondered if they could change this interior color by changing materials. The solution was found by using synthetic materials. The Nike Sportswear Dunk Premium uses black synthetic material with various colored interiors to achieve this multi-colored substrait effect. Each panel of the shoe contains a different color which, when the top layer is carefully etched away, is revealed in high contrast by the laser. This season, the motif is the octagon—a symbol chosen by Nike’s design team to represent the summer games in Beijing and to honor the power of the number eight in Chinese culture. A byproduct of using synthetics in the Nike Dunk upper is a reduction in the shoe’s overall weight, since leather is heavier by nature than its man-made alternative. Along with a black body that allows the colorful shapes to pop visually, a patent leather swoosh and highly perforated vamp are premium design accents that give the sneaker a stealthy, yet sophisticated air.
