Laser engraved door mat
Step by step instructions
Personalize regular door mats with your Trotec laser for them to quickly and easily gain more value.
Preparation
Required material
- single-colour door mat
Machine used
- Speedy 400, 120 watts
- 4" lens
- Vacuum table
Any machine within the Speedy laser engraver series can be substituted, depending on the size of your door mat.
Tip
Because of the thick texture of the door mat, a lens with a long focal length is used to compensate for its unevenness.
Step by step
Step 1: Import design
Create a design of your own or use ours.
One finish, send the application to your laser machine using the following settings:
Print settings:
Process mode | Resolution | Cut line |
---|---|---|
Standard | 333 dpi | none |
Halftone | Others |
---|---|
Color | - |
TIP:
Because door mats are generally seen from a distance, a lower resolution can be used to cut down on production time.
Step 2: Engraving the door mat
Place the door mat in your Trotec laser and use the below parameter settings. Recommended settings may differ based on the laser machine used and the laser power available.
LASER PARAMETERS ENGRAVING:
Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
---|---|---|---|---|
black | Engrave CO2 | 80 | 100 | 500 |
Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Advanced |
---|---|---|---|
1 | ON | 4mm | - |
TIP:
Because door mats are usually seen at a distance, a resolution of 333 dpi is enough.
