Production Tips
With the right material and settings, a clean result is achievable. The following points simplify the production process.
- Material selection: 3–4 mm birch or beech plywood gives a balanced result. If acrylic is preferred, 3 mm opaque colors are recommended.
- Laser power: Use low power for engraving details and medium-high power for cutting. Perform a test cut first.
- Focus and air assistance: Keep the air blow open to prevent burning on cutting edges.
- Assembly: Secure the pieces with adhesive, sand the board to smooth it.
- Surface treatment: Protect the wood with natural oil or varnish; enhance the engraving contrast.
