Step by step instructions

Customise an ordinary, conventional door mat using your Trotec laser machine and a whole lot of creativity!

Preparation

You Will Need
  • 1x Single-Coloured Door Mat
Machine Used

Depending on the size of your chosen door mat, you are free to use any machine from the Trotec Speedy laser engraver series. 

Tip

Seeing as the structure and texture of the door mat is quite coarse, we decided to use a lens with a very long focal length. This compensated for the unevenness of the material.

Print Settings:

Process Mode Resolution Cut Line
Standard 333dpi None
Halftone Others
Colour -

TIP:

Seeing as a door mat is usually something that is viewed from a significant distance, we suggest using a lower resolution. This will reduce your production time significantly.

Step 2: Engraving the Door Mat

Place the door mat inside your Trotec laser machine and create the parameter settings. Please note that our recommended settings can differ depending on the laser machine you are using and its available laser power. 

LASER PARAMETERS - ENGRAVING:

Colour Process Power (%) Speed (%) ppi/Hz

TIP:

Since a door mat is usually viewed from a significant distance, you are only required to use a resolution of 333dpi. It will speed up your job.
