Create a personalised agate pendant

Instructions

Learn how to engrave a piece of agate stone with a Trotec laser engraver.

Preparation

Required material:

Agate disks
Leather band

Machine used:

Speedy 360, 100 Watt
1.5" lens
Vacuum table

For this example, any laser machine from the Speedy laser engraver series can be used.

Tip:

We used the 1.5" lens for this sample because we wanted to engrave a filigree design.

Step by Step

Step 1: Import design

Create your own design or simply import our template. We scanned our agate disk to adapt our design directly to the shape of the stone. Send the job to the laser using the driver settings as following:

Print settings

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	1000 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
Color

Tip:

For a perfect result of our detailed graphics we used the highest possible resolution of 1000 dpi for our engraving job.

Step 2: Laser Engraving the agate

Position the agate disk into your Trotec Laser engraver and focus on the surface. If the stone is rounded, focus on the average value of the laser engraving area. Create the material parameter settings. The parameters vary depending on the laser machine and laser power.
