Step 2: Engraving the marble

First, wash the natural dust off the stone under running water. Once it is dry, position it into your Trotec laser and focus on the surface. If the stone is rounded, focus on the average value of the engraving area. Enter the material parameter settings. The parameters can vary depending on laser machine and available laser power.

LASER PARAMETERS ENGRAVING:

Color Process Power (%) Speed (%) ppi/Hz
black Engrave CO2 50 20 1000
Passes Air Assist Z-Offset Advanced
1 on - 0.5 mm -

INFO:

We used a negative offset value. Thereby the surface is exposed to more laser power and the engraving shows more contrast.

Step 3: Cleaning

Wipe off the stone with a damp cloth. Don't put it under running water, because this might wash out the engraving dust which ensures the good contrast.

Inspiration

Engrave sayings, slogans or quotes on the stones. Your imagination is the only limit.

Personalise the stones with names or dates to add extra value to your design.
