  • Laser cutting and laser engraving paper Christmas cards - step 1 

    Step 1: 

    Thsi sample has been made of two different materials. We started with engraving and cutting of the green paper. Once the green paper has been finished, start with the white one. If you like you can easily ad your personal text on the card.

    We have used the following laser parameters:

    Raster engraving: power 15 %, speed 70 %, resolution 500 dpi/500 ppi

    Vector cut scratching (red): power 10 %, speed: 8 %, resolution 500 dpi/10000 Hz

    Vector through-cut (blue): power 15 %, speed 2 %, resolutuion 500 dpi/8000 Hz

     

     

     
  • Laser cutting and laser engraving paper Christmas cards - Step 2 

    Step 2:  

    Once you have cut both kinds of paper, first fold the green paper along the middle folding line so that the engraving is inwards. Then open the card again and fold from the back along the remaining folding lines. The result is a three-dimensional object.
