Laser engraving bricks

Discover a different way on how you can create and customise an original gift for home-building using a simple clay brick.

Preparation

Required material:

Clay brick from the DIY store

Machine used:

Speedy 360, 100 Watt
1.5" lens
Vacuum table

For this sample you can use any laser machine from the Speedy laser engraver series

Tip:

We used the 1.5" lens because we wanted to engrave a plan with many details. For design with less details, use the 2" lens.

Step by Step

Step 1: Import design
