Laser engraving bricks
Request a demoDiscover 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.
