Introduction
The Winter Olympics represent dedication, teamwork, and unforgettable victories. Creating your own Winter Olympic–style trophy is a fun way to celebrate achievements—whether it’s for a school event, a friendly sports competition, or simply as a decorative keepsake.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to laser cut and assemble a Winter Olympic trophy step by step. Even if you’ve never used a laser cutting machine before, the detailed instructions below will guide you through the entire process, from preparing the material to assembling the finished trophy.
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 acrylic sheet flat on the laser machine bed. Keep the bottom protective film attached and place that side directly against the laser bed. The film helps prevent scratches and keeps smoke marks from appearing on the surface during cutting.
Make sure the sheet is lying completely flat and is not warped or tilted. Use pins to prevent shifting during cutting, and be mindful of the height of magnets or pins so the sensor will not hit them during processing.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Open your laser software, such as LaserMaker, and import your file. Adjust the size and positioning so the design fits your material dimensions. Before starting, double-check your parameters to ensure clean and readable results.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Focus the laser to the surface of the acrylic sheet. Accurate focus is important for achieving sharp details, consistent engraving depth, and clean cutting edges.
STEP04
Start Engraving & Cutting
Use the border or frame function to preview the working area. This helps confirm that the design is correctly aligned before starting the job.
Once everything is ready, start the laser cutting job. During the process, the laser will first engrave any decorative elements and then cut the individual pieces of the trophy from the acrylic sheet. Monitor the machine while it is running, make sure ventilation is working properly, and avoid leaving the machine unattended.
STEP05
Post Processing
After the cutting process is complete, allow the acrylic pieces to cool briefly before removing them from the machine bed. Carefully separate the pieces from the surrounding material.
Insert the main decorative panel into the base pieces according to the design. The slots should fit snugly, allowing the trophy to stand upright without additional support. If desired, gently wipe the acrylic surface with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and enhance its shine.
Come and Try!
Your Winter Olympic trophy is now complete. A custom trophy makes every achievement feel more meaningful. Try creating your own Winter Olympic–style award with a laser cutter and celebrate the winners in your next competition, school event, or winter-themed gathering. With just a sheet of acrylic and a simple design, you can turn a small project into a memorable symbol of victory.
