Step 1: Import design

Import our template or create your own design. To adapt our design precisely to the shape of the stone, we scanned our agate disk.  Use the driver settings below and send the job to the laser machine .

Step 2: Engraving the agate

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. Create the material parameter settings.  Depending on laser machine and available laser power, the parameters can vary.

Tip:

The contrast is higher than engraving in focus due to the +1.5 mm z-offset (out of focus).
