Find out how you can make a unique, individual present using nothing but a simple brick and your laser machine!
Preparation
You Will Need:
Regular clay brick
Machine Used:
Speedy 360, 100W
1.5" lens
Vacuum table
You can create this sample on any machine from the Speedy series.
Tip:
We used a 1.5" lens because our design has many fine details. For simpler designs, you only need to use the 2" lens.
Step by Step
