It's a really cool project, thank you for all the work. Is there a list of fabrics it can cut? I guess no synthetics?

- TaylorAlexander 3y agoIt will cut basically any fabric. I have used it to cut synthetics (polyester) and I've cut heavy cotton with it. The hardest materials to cut are white fabrics as they reflect a lot of light, but you can always go slower. It can take a while to cut a large white thick cotton piece though. If that was desired it would make sense to go for a slightly higher powered laser module if one was available.
- cenamus 3y agoHow bad is the burned edge? I also imagine it would be quite different for cotton and synthetic fabrics. Amazing project!
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoThanks! The burned edge for synthetics is itchy. You can either design the garment to hide that edge from skin contact, or design your cuts to be a bit large and then snip off the edge that would be in skin contact (beats manually tracing out the entire pattern). The burned edge for cotton is nicer.
