Operational Process
STEP01
Prepare & Position the Material
Use a smooth wooden board suitable for laser cutting, such as birch or maple plywood, about 3 mm thick. Place the wood flat on your laser cutter bed and make sure the surface is clean and free of dust or oil.
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 cutting parameters to match the thickness and type of wood you’re using. Make sure the bed size matches your desired finished piece.
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, carefully remove them from the laser bed. Align the interlocking tabs and slots. The design fits snugly without glue, but for your safety, use glue to secure the joints firmly and avoid any accidents.
Inspect the vase for any rough edges and lightly sand if necessary. Optionally, apply a clear wood finish or oil to enhance the color and protect the wood.
Come and Try!
Your vase is now ready to display fresh flowers, dried arrangements, or as a standalone decorative piece. Turn plain wood sheets into a stunning centerpiece with your own hands! Invite family or friends to join in—the assembly is fun, satisfying, and the finished vase adds a warm, personal touch to any room.
