Hands-off cutting, from first prototype to full production
Aeronaut’s vacuum bed holds every pattern securely, so laser cutting becomes a productive, stress-free, hands-off job in small workshops or large factories. Start with an accurate blade cutter for prototypes and low volumes, then move up to laser as production grows.
Sealed edges, nothing touching
Laser cutting seals ripstop Nylon edges all round, and with an inkjet print head nothing touches the material. No drag, no wrinkles, no shifted panels.
Symmetrical wings, every time
Industrial-strength construction, secure vacuum hold-down and a concentric marker holder keep left and right wing panels symmetrical, eliminating most post-production trimming.
Lasers built to last
“All Metal” CO2 lasers use US-made tubes with exceptionally long service life. Choose low, medium or high power to suit your fabrics, with air or water cooling for any climate.
World-class software that delivers for now and the future
Tangent nests wing panels tightly to save expensive cloth and drives your cutter with simple, powerful controls. Rapid patterning and CAD plug-ins cut design-to-cut time to minutes on complex patterns. SiliconEye traces a table full of patterns in seconds, and Cyclops aligns cuts to printed or patterned fabric.

Frequently asked questions
Laser or blade for my wing fabric?
Laser is the best choice for ripstop Nylon, because it seals every cut edge. Hang glider and microlight laminates, Dacron and carbon are easily blade cut, since edge sealing matters less there.
Which laser power do I need?
Low power lasers are lighter and more agile, ideal for paraglider and parachute Nylon. Medium and high power lasers cut heavier harness and container materials faster.
Can I stack cut paraglider fabric?
Some paraglider materials can be laser stack cut. Coated parachute fabrics cannot, because the layers weld together and tear when separated. Send us a sample and we’ll test it.
Is a blade cutter good enough to start with?
Yes, for prototypes or low volumes. You won’t get edge sealing, but an accurate cutter is far better than scissors, and you can add a laser later.
