STAHLS'^® offers a wide variety of heat press materials under the trade name of CAD-CUT^® films. STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® films consist of polyurethane (PU) as the main heat transferable material with a clear plastic carrier layer. STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials may also be referred to by these specific product names: Thermo-FILM^™, Fashion-FILM^™, Fashion-FILM^™ Electric, Premium Plus^™, SportFilm Lite^™, Flock, Glitter Flake^™, 3M^™ Scotchlite^™ 5807, Hologram, Thermo-GRIP^®, GORILLA GIRP^® II, Perma-TWILL^®, and Poly-TWILL^™. Laser processing of STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials is possible with a 9.3 or 10.6 micron CO₂ laser. However, the 9.3 micron CO₂ laser produces results that are far superior in detail and sharpness than what can be obtained with a 10.6 micron CO₂ laser. Laser processing of STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials with a 1.06 micron fiber laser is not recommended as this material does not readily absorb the energy produced at this wavelength. Laser engraving of STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials with the 9.3 micron CO₂ laser completely removes the PU material from the plastic carrier, leaving a detailed design that can be heat transferred to the desired surface. Laser cutting of STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials with the 9.3 micron CO₂ laser produces a clean cut edge with little to no discoloration or heat affects. Laser marking of STAHLS'^® CAD-CUT^® materials with a CO₂ laser is possible and will produce a slight mark in the surface of the film but is not recommended as this is not the intended use of the material.
