Laser‑Cut Lashes (Not 3D‑Printed): See the Process, Learn the Benefits, and Get Pro Tips

🔍 Quick Summary
- Laser-cut ≠ 3D-printed. The laser cuts the lash fan style on standard PBT fibers at the factory.
- No material is printed layer-by-layer, and no laser goes near the client’s eyes.
- EvLo’s Laser Cut Flat Premade Fans deliver snatched bases, defined symmetry, and silky texture—with the speed artists love.
✂️ What “Laser-Cut” Actually Means
At EvLo Lash Co, “laser-cut” means the lash base is shaped with precision laser technology to form crisp, consistent fans.
Think of it as the best of both worlds:
- The lightness and area coverage of a flat lash
- The convenience and precision of a premade fan
These are not the same as traditional premades or handmade fans, which can sometimes look airy but lack control. Laser-cut fans give you texture, symmetry, and density—especially in styles like Spire Anime, where exaggerated peaks and layering really shine.
🚫 Not 3D-Printed—Here’s the Difference
Laser-Cut | 3D-Printed | |
What happens | A laser cuts/etches lash fibers to shape them | Material is built up layer-by-layer |
Materials used | Existing PBT lash fiber | Various synthetic filaments |
Use in lashes | Yes – industry standard for shaping fibers | Not yet used – not yet used for making eyelash extensions |
Confusion caused by | Factories calling it “laser-printed” | Misleading terminology |
Why the confusion? Some factories use the phrase “laser-printed” when they mean laser-cut or laser-etched. It’s not printing—it’s precision cutting.

✍️ How I Like to Use Them (From Our Team)
When I use laser-cut fans, I typically build the base layer of the map using narrow fans—especially toward the outer corners or longest section of the eye. These fans are perfect for adding texture without bulk.
Then, I layer with Sculpted Anime Spire fans like Quill or Aztec on the top rows for height, character, and contrast.
For a full, dimensional map:
- Bottom row: 4D/5D Narrow, placed 1–2mm shorter
- Top row: Wet set or Mega fans, or Spire Anime fans
This creates a lash set with lift, drama, and a soft, wispy finish.
🛠️ Why Artists Choose Laser-Cut Premades
-
Cleaner bases = cleaner sets
Sharp, seamless bases make isolation and placement a breeze. -
Faster sets, less fan prep
Spend more time mapping and perfecting, not building. -
Consistent symmetry
Perfectly spaced fibers give predictable results across the tray. -
Creative freedom
Use them as-is or layer with spikes and texture for high-impact artistry.
💧 Aftercare Essentials
Because laser-cut fans are etched for shape, the fibers can loosen if twisted, rubbed, or pulled. To protect retention:
- Avoid rubbing or tugging the eyes
- Use a lash-safe cleanser daily
- Be gentle with Camellia fans—they’re beautiful but delicate
- Skip them on clients who fidget or rub often (especially in inner or outer corners)
🔍 Myths vs. Facts
Myth | Fact |
“These are 3D-printed.” | They’re laser-cut, not printed. PBT fibers are shaped, not built. |
“A laser is used near the eye.” | Never. The laser step happens at the factory—not during your appointment. |
“More glue = better hold.” | Nope. The sharp base allows clean bonding with less glue. |
