Laser cutting in the shoe and leather industry

The present and future of laser technology in the shoe and leather industry

“Today and tomorrow for Laser Technology in the leather industry. The leather and footwear industry around the world is witnessing a paradigm shift in the way products are manufactured using laser technology.

THE TRADITIONAL SHOE INDUSTRY

Traditionally, the leather industry has been based on craftsmanship and manual labour efficiency in the production of bags, shoes, suitcases, boots, handbags and all other types of footwear. But now there are some big changes in the calculations! The introduction of lasers in this area has brought many benefits that complement the handicraft industry and create high quality products that are compared. Extremely cost-effective and time-saving laser technology allows the implementation of very complex projects with relative ease. And what more? The amount of energy used to produce a product with a laser is also very low!

Therefore, instead of interfering with established modes of operation in the leather footwear industry, the new technology complements all traditional production methods. In other words, intelligently driven laser devices will make a significant contribution to the development of designs and works that have not been achieved before.

HOW LASER TECHNOLOGY WORKS TO SUPPORT WORKERS IN THE LEATHER INDUSTRY

Today, laser plotters are available for every company. The use of laser cutting technology in the leather industry has enabled smaller companies and their employees to compete on an equal footing with manufacturing companies with large capitals and large operating budgets. With the equipment and methods that have been reserved for large corporations and industry companies for so long.

Thanks to the highest quality engraving and cutting achieved with laser technology, companies enjoy shorter delays between conceptualisation and work execution. This in turn allows efficient prototyping of products and the production of cost-effective variants for faster market entry. In general, laser technology gives shoe manufacturers unlimited design and form freedom and is used in unusual ways. With the wider adaptation of laser-based tools and techniques, the future can bring much more effective and efficient working methods and individual designs.

THE FUTURE OF THE LASER IN THE SHOE INDUSTRY

Nowadays, the processes using laser plotters for footwear production are limited to more rigid shoe parts. With further advances and more advanced technologies, industrial lasers will dominate all other aspects of the footwear industry. Increased adaptation of the evolving technology would mean accessible, cheaper systems that would make the leather and footwear industry much more cost-competitive.

In the near future, lasers will cause the leather industry to move away from unit-dependent forms of production to more automated machine-dependent processes. This will help to avoid / minimize the human element; which is sometimes very difficult to handle and control. Flexible and versatile in all respects, laser technology will of course lead to replication of the original design in different variants. Laser devices will also be implemented into the work that has been done manually so far due to the high dexterity requirements.

ECONOMICS OF USING LASERS IN THE SHOE INDUSTRY

Stronger laser plotters and lasers provide cleaner and sharper skin cutting for better finished products and higher revenue. Automated laser-driven industry offers economies of scale, leading to consistent and high quality production even in the smallest production units. With a minimum of errors, product standardization and convenient operation are commonplace in automated systems.

THE LASER REMOVES VARIOUS STIGMATA

The traditional leather industry is not considered to be very environmentally friendly. The use of lasers can radically change this stereotypical image, thus removing the marks associated with the leather industry. Moreover, with less labour-intensive processes, the overall working environment in the footwear industry can be better managed, kept clean and under control.
