Wrist watch

Engraving and marking a wrist watch with a Speedy flexx

We show you how you can laser engrave and mark materials in one step.

Preparation

Required material:

Wristwatch with stainless steel case
Lego to position the items in the machine

Machine used:

Speedy 360 flexx
80 Watt CO2
30 W fiber laser
2.85" lens
vacuum table

This sample can be produced with any machine from the flexx laser engraver series.

Step by Step

Step 1: Design

Import our template or create your own design. Adapt the design so to the shape of the watch. Measure the height difference between the materials. This figure is required for the z-offset (for the watch we used there is no height difference between metal and leather). Why this step is so important and other helpful hints about how to use flexx technology is explained here.

Send the job to the laser using the following printer driver settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line	Halftone	Others
Standard	1000 dpi	none	Color	-

Tip:

It is easier to position/adjust the design, if you send the graphic elements for housing and wristband separately. By doing this you can position the graphics precisely with the help of the laser pointer.
