1、 Process principle
Hot cutting edge embroidery technology is an innovative technique that combines embroidery with hot cutting technology. After completing the embroidery pattern production, use thermal cutting equipment (such as hot cutting machines, laser cutting machines, etc.) to cut the edges of the embroidery. The hot cutting equipment melts and re solidifies the fabric at the embroidery edge through high temperature, forming a neat, firm and sealed edge, preventing the fibers at the edge of the fabric from scattering and falling off, while giving the product a unique appearance effect.
2、 Process flow
design phase 
Pattern and Shape Design: Designers use professional design software (such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, etc.) to draw embroidery patterns and hot cut shapes based on customer needs and product applications. For example, to create a sports team emblem, the designer will design a team logo pattern and determine the shape of the emblem, such as a circle or shield.
Parameter setting: Determine the color, stitch, density, and other parameters of embroidery, as well as the temperature, speed, pressure, and other parameters of thermal cutting. The settings of these parameters need to be adjusted according to the selected fabric and embroidery thread material.
material preparation
Base fabric selection: High temperature resistant and uniformly textured fabrics such as felt, denim, canvas, etc. should be selected. The characteristics of different fabrics can affect the embroidery effect and thermal cutting quality. For example, felt has a soft texture that is suitable for making badges of various shapes, and the edges are relatively neat after thermal cutting; Denim has a stylish appearance and good durability, but higher temperatures may be required for thermal cutting.
Embroidery thread selection: Embroidery thread should have a color that matches the fabric and good high temperature resistance to ensure that it will not fade or melt during the hot cutting process. Common embroidery thread materials include polyester fibers, etc.
Embroidery production
Equipment debugging: Import the designed embroidery pattern into the computer embroidery machine, and adjust the parameters such as needle method, speed, tension, etc. of the embroidery machine according to the requirements of the fabric and embroidery thread.
Embroidery processing: Fix the base fabric on the embroidery frame of the embroidery machine, and the embroidery machine performs the embroidery operation according to the preset program to complete the embroidery of the pattern.
Hot cutting treatment
Equipment debugging: Adjust the temperature, pressure, and cutting speed of the thermal cutting equipment according to the material and thickness of the base fabric. For example, for thicker felt fabrics, it may be necessary to increase temperature and pressure, and appropriately reduce cutting speed to ensure cutting effectiveness.
Cutting operation: Place the embroidered fabric on the workbench of the hot cutting equipment and cut it according to the designed shape. During the cutting process, it is necessary to closely observe the cutting situation to ensure that the edges are neat, without burning or incomplete cutting.
Post processing
Cleaning: After hot cutting is completed, promptly clean the residue and burrs on the surface of the product to make it smoother and neater. Tools such as brushes and vacuum cleaners can be used for cleaning.
Adhesive backing or locking edge (optional): According to customer needs, apply adhesive backing to the back of the product for easy attachment to clothing, bags, and other items; Further edge locking treatment can also be applied to the edges of the product to enhance its durability.
3、 Technological advantages
High edge quality
Neat and beautiful: Hot cutting can accurately cut the edges according to the design shape, making the edge lines smooth and neat, avoiding problems such as uneven edges and burrs that may occur in traditional manual cutting, and improving the appearance quality of the product.
Sealing and anti stripping: High temperature cutting melts and re solidifies the edges of the fabric, forming a sealing layer that effectively prevents fiber scattering and stripping at the edges of the fabric, extending the service life of the product.
High design flexibility
Diverse shapes: not limited by traditional cutting shapes, it can produce various complex shapes, such as animal shapes, cartoon characters, irregular geometric shapes, etc., to meet the personalized needs of different customers.
Rich patterns: can be matched with various embroidery patterns and colors, whether it is simple text, logos, or complex patterns and scenes, they can be perfectly presented through hot cutting edge embroidery technology.
High production efficiency
High degree of automation: Thermal cutting equipment can achieve automated operation, greatly improving cutting speed and production efficiency. Compared with manual cutting, thermal cutting can complete edge treatment of a large number of products in a short period of time.
Reduce manual intervention: Reduce the workload of manual cutting and trimming, lower labor costs, and also minimize the impact of human factors on product quality.
4、 Application Fields
Clothing industry
Badges and stickers: Used to make badges and stickers on clothing, such as school uniform badges, sports team badges, fashion stickers, etc., adding personality and brand identity to clothing. For example, schools can customize hot cut edge embroidered badges with school logos for students' school uniforms, enhancing their sense of belonging and collective honor.
Decorative accessories: Use hot cutting edge embroidery technology on clothing accessories such as hats, scarves, gloves, etc., embroider exquisite patterns or logos, and enhance the fashion and aesthetics of the accessories.
Luggage industry
Luggage identification: Create embroidered labels with hot cut edges on backpacks, handbags, suitcases, and other luggage to showcase the brand or personalized design. For example, well-known luggage brands can embroider unique brand logos on their products and use heat cutting edge treatment to make the logos more eye-catching and durable.
Gift and souvenir industry
Customized Gifts: Customize gifts with hot cut edge embroidery for businesses, teams, or individuals, such as keychains, mobile phone pendants, badge sets, etc., with commemorative significance and collectible value. For example, companies can customize hot cut edge embroidered keychains with company logos and employee names for employees as employee  or souvenirs.
Event souvenirs: Create hot cut edge embroidered souvenirs with event themes and logos for various large-scale events, conferences, celebrations, and other occasions, distribute them to participants, and leave beautiful memories.
