ABSTRACT
Laser technologies are seeing growing use in the textile sector, becoming an integral part of key production processes such as monitoring, cutting, bonding, 3D printing, 3D scanning, and marking. They are now widely recognized as a preferred—and often essential—alternative to conventional textile processing methods. This shift is driven by the numerous benefits laser systems provide, including superior accuracy, increased efficiency, and the potential for full automation. Incorporating laser technologies into manufacturing has led to notable enhancements in product quality, higher output, and the development of innovative textile products with improved features. Moreover, laser-based processes offer greater versatility when working with a wide range of materials and support the integration of creative and advanced design concepts. The paper highlights that many of the recent advancements in textile products and functionalities stem directly from the effective use of laser technologies, underlining their crucial role in driving the industry’s modernization and shaping its future growth.
