We used the 2" lens because it produces a more uniform result on large-area engravings.

Step 1: Make design layout
Make your own design and adjust according to your preferences. We engraved the camouflage design with its three different grayscales in one engraving process. How this exactly works is described here. Send the graphic for the outer shell to the laser using the settings below:
Print settings:
Process mode
Resolution
Cut line
Relief
500 dpi
none
Halftone

enhanced geometries, inner geometries first
Step 2: Engraving process outer shell
Put the dark blue LaserPaper Color into your Trotec laser and focus exactly on the surface. Make the parameter settings. The parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.

Tip:
Cover the remaining working area with standard paper to achieve full vacuum.
Step 3: Design inner frame and "strip curtain"
Send every single graphic for frame and strip curtain to the laser using the following parameters:

Inner geometries first
Step 4: Cutting inner frame and "strip curtain"
Put the slate gray LaserPaper Color into your Trotec laser and cut the frame. Then cut the strip curtain out of the golden LaserPaper. You can use the same parameters for both designs.

Step 5: Assembly
Take the frame and secure it on the inner part of the cover (where the grip hole is) using liquid glue or double-sided adhesive disks. Now take the strip curtain and apply double-sided adhesive tape on the bottom of the far left stripe, and on top of the far right paper strip. Insert the strip curtain into the cover and secure it. If you open the card, the stripes move like a curtain and are a great eye catcher.
