How Laser Cutting Makes Patterned Lampshades
Quick answer: A lampshade laser cutting machine cuts shade panels and pierces decorative patterns so light shines through, across card, paper, PET and fabric. It is die-less, so each shade design goes straight from artwork to finished panel.
The laser cuts filigree light patterns dies cannot, with clean edges, and scores fold lines for box and drum shades. Tuned power keeps paper and PET edges crisp.
New shade patterns cost nothing to set up — perfect for decorative and custom lighting.
