Create your own design, or use our free template.
Supplies
- CO2 laser (We used a Trotec Speedy 360 100W with a 1.5" lens)
- Vacuum table
- Agate disks
- Leather band
Tip: To engrave a filigree design, we recommend using a 1.5" lens for this sample.
Design
Send the job to the laser with the settings below.
*Print Settings
- Process Mode: Standard
- Resolution: 1000 dpi
- Cut Line: None
- Halftone: Color
- Others: None
Note: We used the highest possible resolution of 1000 dpi for our laser engraving job for a perfect outcome of our detailed graphics.
Laser Engraving
Now make the parameter settings. Position the agate disk into your Trotec Laser machine and focus on the surface. Focus on the average value of the engraving area, if the stone is rounded. Then start the engraving process.
