Customizing cutlery

Today, we will teach you how to use a laser to upgrade your stainless steel cutlery. Annealing keeps the surface smooth and allows the pieces to be cleaned easily.

Preparation

Required material:

Stainless steel cutlery
Lego for positioning items in the machine

Machine used:

Speedy 360 flexx
30 W fiber laser
2.85" lens
vacuum table

Any machine in the Speedy Flexx laser engraver series may be used.

Important:

If positioning the material in the machine, be sure that the surface is as flat as possible, parallel to the table.

Step by Step

Step 1: Design

Use our design or make your own. Send the job to the laser with the below printer driver settings.

Printer driver settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	1000 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
color	-

Step 2: Laser process

Check the parameters then set them. These settings may change based on the laser machine you use and the laser power available.

Tip:

We used Lego bricks because they are extremely useful if you have to compensate for a variety of heights or have to define exact positions. They are particularly useful in situations where producing a template wouldn't make sense.
