Abstract: A system and a method for laser marking a graphic on an object. The system includes: a laser system for producing a laser output; element(s) for moving the laser output on a surface of an object; a controller for controlling the laser system and the moving element(s), and for processing control information including a plurality of vectors, where for each vector the controller is configured to set a vector speed and a vector laser power according to a marking intensity value of the corresponding vector group such that at least two vectors within one of the vector groups have with respect to each other different vector speeds and vector laser powers, and a laser output's speed that is set according to the at least two vectors remains different than zero when the laser output travels along two trajectory parts which correspond to the at least two vectors.

Abstract: A method for laser engraving on clothing and to a corresponding machine. Using an image, a laser burns, for each pixel, a corresponding point on the clothing, with a laser energy level that is a function of the pixel value. This function has a first zone with a first average gradient and a second zone with a second average gradient. The first zone corresponds to laser energy values less than the second zone, the absolute value of the second average gradient being greater than the absolute value of the first average gradient. The laser engraving machine comprises a laser source, means for conducting the laser on specific points of the clothing, means for controlling the energy supplied by the laser, and control means configured to carry out the method.

Abstract: A self-contained mobile finishing garment center includes two containers that include a computer-controlled system that laser finishes garments ordered by customers. A first container includes an order system and a laser that laser forms a customer ordered wear pattern into the fabric of a garment, such as jeans. A second container includes wet processing equipment, such as a clothes washer and a clothes dryer that wash and dry the garment. The self-contained mobile finishing center facilitates the receipt of a custom order for jeans and the laser finishing and delivery of the jeans in a relatively short time, such as in less than an hour. The containers are mobile and can be shipped by truck, rail, or ship to a variety of locations and events for custom finishing garments according to customer's custom orders to provide custom ordered garment in a short time period, such as during an event.
