Note: This design was used to maximize cohesion.
* Iron your fabric and lay it on a piece of MDF. Tape it securely into place.

* Configure the properties as follows:
Note: Laser Cutter used: Epilog Mini
The properties depend on the fabric used:
Vector Settings:
Speed: 100 %
Power: 10 %
Frequency: 150 Hz
*Begin cut:

The different configurations will vary depending on the printer, the material or the type of fabric you are using for your project.
Yet, the overall process for 3D printing on fabric remains similar, that is, you should incorporate your fabric in between the two stages of printing.
