Ever been to the Textile Museum in Tilburg? If you are ever so little interested in knitting, weaving, embroidery or anything that relates to textile it is definitely worth a visit. They feature a textile lab with the most advanced machines for textile fabrication. And you can actually have your designs produced there. We at Wunderkammer designed curtains that we laser cut at the lab. For a good laser cut you need to find the right speed and intensity of the laser to fit your fabric and pattern. Below some pictures of our lessons learned. The result is now hanging in our studio. Curious? Feel welcome to visit!
The final result:
The first try out: To the left the laser intensity was too strong, the fabric melted and the pattern got glued together. To the right the laser speed was too slow and the fabric might burn.
To the left: the pattern still melts and sticks together. Maybe the pattern is too fine? To the right: when the laser beam is too intens the fabric burns and leaves black marks on the fabric.
To the right: we still haven't found the right speed and intensity for our pattern. To the right: let's try to change the pattern and make it less fine.
Finally we found the right speed and intensity of the laser beam and the right grade of detail in the pattern to get the result we wanted.
Our 'butterflies' against the sunlight.
