Step 4Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting
Place your 3mm plywood (or cardboard) into the laser cutter. The illustrator file should be prepared for cutting and engraving, however, double check the file. All of the black hairlines are for cutting, while the red fill is for engraving.

We used the following settings on our Epilog Mini 35 Laser Cutter.

Raster Setting

Speed: 40%
Power: 100%

Vector Setting

Speed: 8%
Power: 100%
Freq: 500hz

Each laser cutter is different, so this may take a bit of experimentation.
