Introduction
A tissue box is something we use every day—on a desk, in the living room, or in the workshop. While it’s easy to overlook, a well-designed wooden tissue box can blend naturally into the space and feel more intentional.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to laser cut a wooden tissue box from start to finish. The process covers material setup, cutting, and assembly, making it a straightforward project that’s both practical and satisfying to complete.
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
Place the wooden board sheet flat on the laser bed. Make sure the material is clean and properly secured to prevent movement during cutting or engraving.
Use pins to prevent any shifting during cutting. Be mindful of the height of magnets and pins. If they are too tall, the sensor might hit them and become damaged during processing.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Open your laser software, such as LaserMaker, and import the design file into your laser software. Adjust the layout so it fits properly within your material size.
Before moving on, double-check your engraving and cutting parameters to match the thickness and type of wood you’re using.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Proper focusing ensures neat, polished edges. 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 wood surface at a perfect angle. Always double-check before cutting.
STEP04
Start Engraving & Cutting
Click “Frame” or “Border” to preview your cutting area and make sure the design fits nicely on your board. This confirms your material placement and avoids wasting wood. Adjust as necessary.
Once everything is set, start the laser job. Stay close to the machine while it’s running and watch the cutting progress. Keep an eye out for excessive smoke, small flame-ups, or any movement of the material that could affect the outcome.
STEP05
Post Processing
Once all pieces are cut, remove them from the laser bed. Align the panels and assemble the tissue box according to the design. Use glue if needed to secure the joints firmly.
Check the structure for stability, wipe off any residue, and make sure the tissue box is clean before use.
Come and Try!
Your wooden tissue box is now complete. This is a simple project, but one you’ll use every day. Try changing the size, adding engraved patterns, or adjusting the design to match your space. It’s a practical way to turn laser cutting into something useful—and a great starting point for more functional projects.
