Introduction

Does your umbrella leave wet trails on the floor after rainy days?


This acrylic umbrella stand is designed to help solve that problem. It features a laser-cut umbrella silhouette and multiple small holes near the base to support airflow and water evaporation.


Functional and decorative, this custom acrylic stand helps keep umbrellas organized while adding a clean visual accent to your space.

Before your work begins

Clean the lens and mirrors
Check the laser head and nozzle for dust or buildup
Ensure ventilation and air assist are working properly
Confirm the machine is running smoothly and normally

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Material

Prepare the white acrylic sheet and place it flat on the laser bed. A clean, stable surface helps keep the umbrella silhouette and drainage holes accurately cut.


Secure the acrylic if needed to prevent shifting during cutting, especially when processing narrow shapes, slots, and small ventilation holes.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Design File

Import the acrylic umbrella stand file into LightBurn, then adjust the size, position, and cutting settings according to your acrylic sheet.


Double-check the umbrella silhouette, base pieces, and small hole details before starting. Make sure every component stays within the acrylic boundary.

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Accurate focusing is important for achieving clean cutting edges on acrylic. If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it touches the acrylic surface at the correct angle.

STEP04

Start Cutting

Use the Frame function to outline the laser cutting area. Make sure the projected frame matches your acrylic sheet and the umbrella stand design stays within the material boundary.


Once everything is aligned, start the laser job. Stay near the machine while it’s running and monitor the cutting process carefully.

Post Processing

When all components are cut, carefully remove the acrylic pieces from the laser bed.


Apply glue to the joints, then assemble the acrylic components together. Let the glue dry completely, and your custom acrylic umbrella stand is ready to use.
