Muffin or CupCake Case
Adım 1

Step 1: Design

Create the graphic in a graphics program or import our template. The parcels are defined as engraving areas by the black fill, snow crystals and border lines must be defined as cutting lines (width: hairline; R: 255; G: 0 B: 0). Additionally, you can add text at the bottom of the graphic for a personal touch.

Step 2: Bend graphic

To bend the strip later to a muffin case, bend the graphics in Adobe Illustrator with the warping tool or in Corel Draw with the tool 'Envelope' (menu: Effects > Envelope > Simple arc > putty). Hold Ctrl and then drag the lines to the desired arc.

WE WORKED ON A SPEEDY 300 (80 WATSS POWER) WITH THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS:

Cutting: power: 300% - speed: 1.5% - frequency: 1000 Hz- air assist: ON 
Engraving: power: 70% - speed: 80% - frequency: 500 ppi - air assist: ON - Z-Offset: 1mm - high quality: ON

In the menu plate setup, choose start position bottom. Remove protection foil from the laminate and check the vacuum. Focus the laser and off you go!

Step 4: Tips & Tricks

  • Consider the cutting sequence: The cutting lines are considered bottom up in the production process. Therefore, place the outline at the top position in Corel Draw Object Manager.
  • For an increased vacuum cover unused parts of the table with paper.
  • Select the engraving start position as 'bottom'. This prevents deposits from setting on engraved areas which could discolour the product.
  • First clean with a damp cloth then dry, preferably still in the machine.
  • If colour residues are present, check the parameters, focus and check the rest of the laminate on the table.
