In the field of automotive interiors, felt materials play an indispensable role thanks to their unique properties. Felt is made of animal hair or chemical fiber, and is a soft, flexible sheet. It has excellent sound-absorbing and soundproofing properties, which can effectively reduce the noise inside the car and create a quiet and comfortable driving environment; at the same time, felt has good thermal insulation properties, which can isolate the heat outside the car and maintain the appropriate temperature inside the car; in addition, felt also has a certain shock-absorbing function, which can cushion the vibration of the car body and enhance the smoothness of the driving. Because of this, felt is widely used in automotive seat lining, dashboard insulation, door liners, trunk mats and other parts of the car interior quality and functionality to provide a strong protection.

However, its unique fiber structure (natural wool and synthetic fibers intertwined) hidden two major hidden dangers:

High temperature sensitivity: above 150 ℃ began to carbonize, the release of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Adsorption traps: the porous structure of the easy to retain the tar odor, the slow release of the closed compartment

01 CO2 Laser Cutting: environmental protection in the age of the process of the pain

The traditional CO₂ Laser Cutting technology in the treatment of felt materials there are obvious drawbacks. Conventional CO₂ laser cutting technology has obvious drawbacks when processing felt materials: the CO₂ laser cutting process generates a large amount of fumes, which not only pollute the working environment, but also pose a threat to the health of the operator. At the same time, the felt is prone to burning during the cutting process, which leaves an unpleasant odor. When these odorous felt materials are installed in the interior of a car, the odors will continue to emanate, affecting the air quality inside the car, causing discomfort to the consumer, and going against the green, environmentally friendly concepts advocated by modern automotive manufacturing.

02 GW Laser High Brightness Fiber Laser: The Green Answer for Automotive Interiors

In contrast, GW's high-brightness fiber lasers have shown significant advantages in cutting felt materials, and GW's laser cutting technology has transformed felt cutting from a “source of pollution” to a “benchmark for green technology.” First of all, it produces almost no fumes during the cutting process, solving the pollution problem of traditional cutting methods at the source and creating a clean and environmentally friendly working environment in the workshop. Secondly, GW's high-brightness fiber laser does not produce burnt odor when cutting felt, and the processed felt material smells fresh, which meets the stringent requirements of environmental protection and odorlessness for automotive interiors. This not only enhances consumers' perception of the quality of automotive interiors, but also enables automakers to better meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations and consumer expectations for interior air quality.

In addition, GW's high-brightness fiber laser cuts felt with high precision and efficiency. Its high-brightness laser beam can realize precise energy control to ensure neat and smooth cutting edges without subsequent trimming, which improves production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, the fiber laser's high electro-optical conversion efficiency and low energy consumption can effectively reduce energy consumption and production costs in the manufacturing process of automotive interiors, bringing significant economic benefits to automotive manufacturers.

In the context of the automotive interior industry's transition to green, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient, GW Laser' high-brightness fiber lasers have become the ideal choice for automotive interior manufacturers due to their excellent performance in cutting felt materials. It not only meets the dual demands of craftsmanship and environmental protection for automotive interiors, but also pushes the entire industry toward sustainable development, providing consumers with a more comfortable, healthy and environmentally friendly driving experience.
