Lasercut Stretchy Conductive Fabric Traces

Step 2Laser cut the fabric

Laser cut the fabric
You want to laser cut the fabric with a pattern so that even though the fabric itself doesn't stretch, the structure will. I included some samples in the .dxf file below, copy them to the sizes of your fabric.

The laser cutter settings that you use should cut through the paper and fabric without burning away too much excess fabric. For our lasercutter (a really old Universal) that means the following settings:
  • Vector cut
  • 1000 PPI
  • 45% power
  • 40% speed

Cut away!
