Glass Engraving | Laser Engraved Whisky Bottle

For this project, we used a Trotec Speedy 500 and a Speedy 300 flexx machine with a rotary attachment.

To complete this project, you will need:

• Whisky glass bottle or any bottle of your choice
• Glass cups
• Cardboard box
• Spray paint
• Engravers mask

Spray paint the box in your choice of colours. We decided to cover the box in a white spray paint.

After letting the white paint dry, we covered the white box with a black and white stone spray paint.

We set up the file we wanted to have directly engraved on the box. Use any logo or text you would like to have engraved.

This step allowed us to paint only the logo underneath the mask.

Once dry, peel off the mask and the paint will only be revealed on the logo.

After setting up your file of what you like to have engraved, place the glass in the rotary attachment using our Speedy 300 flexx machine. To have a "frosted" effect on the glass, we covered the engraving area in wet newspaper.

In this stage, we put the glass upside down in order to engrave the logo at the bottom of the glass. For this to work, the file has to be flipped. This will engrave the logo backwards therefore the logo looks correct when you look at it from the top of the glass. To get this effect, we used wet newspaper once again.

In this stage, we covered the bottle with an engraving mask in order to have a smooth and very detailed finish. This will prevent any glass shards while engraving on the bottle. In this step, the Speedy 500 machine was used to engrave directly onto the bottle through the mask.

You are able to create anything that you would like to have engraved. Pictures can also be engraved onto glass with the proper setup. Enjoy!
