Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import /create design template

Import our design template into your graphic program. Modify the template so that it meets your requirements.

Important:

We designed our template for 1.6 mm material. Be sure to adapt the parameters if you are using engraving materials of a different type or thickness.

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

First position the wood sheet into your laser and cover the rest of the table to maximize the exhaust power. Then engrave and cut the various parts.

Laser Parameters

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
red	cut CO₂	40	0.7	1000
black	engrave CO₂	35	60	500

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	on	-	-
1	on	-	-

Tip:

We used the standard laser parameters from JobControl^® optimized for speed
The material parameters of JobControl^® can be downloaded from www.troteclaser.com
If you start the engraving from the bottom, it will reduce the cleaning required

Step 3: Post-processing

Once all the parts have been engraved and cut, use super glue to assemble them. The final step is to affix the magnet or pin on the back of the name tag. Now it's ready!
