Before your work begins
Operational Process
Prepare & Position the Plywood
Prepare the 5mm plywood and place it flat on the laser working table.
Keep the plywood stable before cutting. The design should also be adjusted according to the actual type and size of the material before processing.
Import & Adjust the Design File
Draw or prepare the Minion-shaped pen holder design file in CorelDraw, then switch to the laser software using the laser plug-in.
Set the proper cutting parameters in the laser software, then click Download to transfer the design to your laser cutting machine.
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Move the laser head to the correct starting position and adjust the focal distance before cutting.
After focusing, press Origin on the control panel to set the starting position. Accurate focusing helps achieve cleaner plywood cutting results.
Frame the Design & Start Laser Cutting
Use the Frame function to check the cutting area and confirm that the Minion-shaped pen holder design stays within the plywood sheet.
Once everything is aligned, press Start to begin laser cutting. Stay near the machine and monitor the cutting process carefully.
Post Processing
After cutting, collect all the plywood pieces and check that each part has been cut cleanly.
Assemble the Minion-shaped pen holder by hand and use glue to secure the parts where needed. Once finished, it can be used as a cute desk decoration and a practical holder for pens, pencils, and small stationery items.
Come and Try!
A Minion-shaped pen holder is both decorative and useful, making it a fun project for kids, families, classrooms, and creative desks.
It is especially suitable for Children’s Day, handmade gifts, school activities, or daily desk organization. With a laser cutter, you can turn plywood into a playful pen holder that brings both storage and personality to the workspace.
