Abstract

This article aims to characterize and standardize the laser engraving process on linen fabric for the development of fashion products under a sustainable approach. To do so, tests of different graphic projects are carried out with variation of the power and speed parameters. The results obtained indicate parameters for stamping by laser engraving on linen, which can be applied on industrial scale to produce fashion items with environmentally-sound characteristics.
