The process works best with materials that are stable, heat-resistant, and easy to cut. Common fabrics for laser cutting include cotton, polyester, felt, and synthetic blends. Cotton is a natural choice for its affordability and clean edges, while polyester offers durability and resistance to melting. Felt, with its dense structure, is ideal for detailed designs.
