Customizing cutlery

In this tutorial, we show you how you can upgrade stainless steel cutlery using a laser. The annealing process keeps the surface intact and the pieces can be cleaned easily.

Preparation

Required material

Stainless steel cutlery
Lego to position the items in the machine

Machine used

Speedy 360 flexx
30 W fiber laser
2.85" lens
vacuum table

You can use any other machine of the Speedy Flexx laser engraver series.

Important

If you position the material into the machine, make sure that the surface is as flat as possible (parallel to the table)

Determine and set the parameters. The parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.
