Place the 3mm plywood flat on the Thunder Bolt honeycomb bed. Check that the sheet is clean, dry, and free from noticeable warping before beginning.

Use honeycomb pins to secure the plywood so it stays flat and stable throughout the scoring, engraving, and cutting process. Position the pins outside the design area to keep them clear of the photo, lettering, decorative details, and outer cutting paths.

Import the personalized keepsake design into LaserMaker. Then import the baby's photo and place it in the intended photo area. Convert the image to grayscale or black and white, adjust the contrast so facial features and important details remain distinguishable, and crop or resize the image to fit the layout.

Add or adjust the baby's name, birth details, and decorative graphics as needed. Assign the outline lines and decorative details to the scoring layer, the baby photo and text to the engraving layer, and the outer shapes and openwork sections to the cutting layer.

Set the scoring parameters to speed 800mm/s, max power 15%, min power 10%, 1 pass, and LOW air assist. Use scoring for outline lines and decorative details.

Set the engraving parameters to speed 800mm/s, power 30%, 300 DPI, and LOW air assist. Use engraving for the baby's photo and text.

Set the cutting parameters to speed 10mm/s, max power 30%, min power 10%, and HIGH air assist. Use cutting for the outer shapes and openwork sections. Review the artwork and all three process layers before sending the file to the machine.

Set the laser focus on the top surface of the 3mm plywood before processing. Use the Thunder Bolt autofocus function for a quick setup or check the focal position manually.

Make sure the board remains flat and secured after focusing. A consistent working distance helps maintain detail across the engraved baby photo, lettering, decorative marks, and cutting outlines.

Run the Frame function to preview the complete design area and confirm that the photo, lettering, decorative details, outer shapes, and openwork all fit within the plywood sheet.

Check the position and clearance around every component. Once the Frame preview is correct, keep the plywood in place and start the job. Process the scoring and engraving details, then run the cutting layer so the outer shapes and smaller cutout pieces are released after the other details are complete.

After laser processing, carefully remove the cut pieces and arrange the small decorative components in their correct positions. Use masking tape to temporarily hold the smaller pieces in place while preparing them for painting.

Apply paint and use paint pens to color the decorative details, lettering, and selected wooden pieces. Choose colors that complement the baby's photo and the intended nursery or gift style. Allow the painted pieces to dry before assembly.

Once the paint is dry, apply glue to the matching parts and assemble the layered keepsake. Align the photo area, text, and decorative pieces carefully, then let the glue set before handling the finished item.

Finally, display the completed personalized newborn keepsake on a shelf, dresser, or nursery wall. Check that the baby photo, name, and decorative elements are clearly visible and that all assembled pieces are secure.
