Step 3: Laser cutting and engraving

Cut out all the elements from the various wooden boards.
Assign the "Relief" process option, for cutting the cups in the JobControl® print window, use the standard process option for all other components.

For a better result select "Optimised Geometries" and "Inner Geometries first."

TIP:

When relief engraving, ensure that the job is not placed over the joint of two glued wooden boards, as the laser cannot erode glue.
