Abstract
A number of laser treatments in the textile industry such as: marking, engraving, cutting, welding, sintering, three-dimensional scanning, and others, have been successfully applied in recent years. Laser technologies are ones that may be used for decorative or identification marking of products, precise cutting, quality joining by welding both traditional materials and newly developed ones. The use of laser systems for processing of materials, in particular, textile polymers, increases due to the speed, accuracy, and flexibility of this innovative technology. The factors exerting impact over, the laser processing of natural and synthetic textile materials are a lot. They are encountered in certain connections and relationships to each other and affect, to a greater or lesser extent, the quality of the laser processing. The process may be optimized by selecting and managing the most significant factors. Most of them are presented and analyzed in this article aimed at understanding the physical nature of these processes. The factors, which exert the greatest impact on the technological process for laser treatments of textile materials, are indicated.
