Laser Cutting Polyester
Weaving Through Industry
Laser cut polyester film produces intricate details achieved by a focused beam of light. Smooth and versatile, polyester films like Mylar or PET are one of the factors why industries use laser cutting. This marriage of material and technology opens a world of possibilities, transforming these seemingly simple materials into extraordinary creations. Polyester laser cut components provide crucial precision and durability for a wide range of industry uses. The early history of this synthetic material goes back almost 100 years ago when polyester was discovered but not fully developed. The focus on another material, called nylon, had resources directed to its formulation and it would be until late 1930’s and 1940’s that polyester would be fully developed and then introduced to the public around 1951. Polyester is a synthetic fiber derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. By a process called polymerization, chemical reactions between an acid and alcohol combine two or more molecules to create a large, strong, and stable molecule.
Today Polyester is the third most-produced plastic material in the world and is used extensively in clothing and fabrics. Early in manufacturing polyester was demonstrated as a change to the modern world through the 1950’s and 1960’s, as it gained popularity as a material for clothing, upholstery and other textiles with polyester fibers and yarn spun into various fabrics. As a fabric, polyester is not biodegradable, but has great color fastness, meaning it will not fade readily in sunlight. It is durable and resistant to stretching, giving it a long functioning life. For industrial uses, polyester has great benefits and applications of precision components, much unseen by a majority of the public, but well known to the industries it serves.
Laser Technology and Polyester
Besides being made into fabrics, polyester is made into films and sheets that are processed by laser technology for precise cut geometries supporting vital sectors of industries. A common name for this type of polyester is Mylar. Mylar is a trademark of Dupont Tejjin Films. Often this type of polyester film is grouped together with other mylar variants and called mylar. Mylar is made as a clear or colored film or can be made as metallized and have coloration to the formulation, which a mylar balloon is a good example of this. Laser technology is well known for its contributions to medical care both for treatments of the skin, surgery and treatment of the eye, but has proven its place amongst manufactures ....
