Since laser cutting technology is more accurate, quick, flexible, and easy to use than other traditional cutting methods, it is frequently utilized in the textile industry to create patterns and designs. The study has been focused on the behavior of bending property and its effect on fabrics which have been cut by applied carbon dioxide laser (Co2) as the most common using in clothing applications which applied by using cutting technique on the fabrics were produced as (100% cotton, 99% cotton/1%lycra, 98% cotton/ 2%lycra, 74%Cotton/25%Polyester/1%Lycra and 78% cotton/ 21% Polyester/ 1% Lycra). The Co2 laser parameters used were power (40, 50, 70 & 90 w) and speed (50,100,120 & 150 mm/s). These parameters applied with a constant height of the laser head above the surface of the material at 0.6mm. In this paper, the effects of cutting parameters on different fabrics used in the search were investigated to determine the optimum parameters to apply it. Therefore, the impacts of these parameters selected on bending properties and color change on these fabrics were investigated. The fabrics have been tested on FAST-2 bending meter, before and after applied cutting design by using Co2 laser. In general, 100% cotton fabrics acquire elasticity after laser cutting through decreased bending rigidity. The blend ratio of synthetic fibers controls the degree of bending of fabrics after exposure to laser rays.
