Create your own design or use our template. Send it to the laser with the recommended laser parameters given.

Print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	500 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
Color	enhanced geometries, inner geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser process wood

Place the material on the honeycomb cutting table in your laser and cover the rest of the work area to create a stronger vacuum. The parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.

Position the veneer sheet onto the honeycomb cutting tabletop and cover the remaining work area to produce a bigger vacuum.

Laser Parameters:
