Introduction
Creating a personalized trophy doesn’t have to be complicated. With a laser cutter and two sheets of acrylic—one black and one clear—you can make a clean, modern, and highly customizable trophy for any sport, event, or competition.
Simply change the engraved pattern or text, and the design instantly fits different themes. Here’s how to make your own acrylic trophy step by step.
Before your work begins
Operational Process
Prepare & Position the Material
Peel off the protective film from the top surface of the acrylic sheet. Leave the back film on to reduce scratches while cutting.
Place the sheet flat on the work bed and secure it with pins or magnets so it doesn’t shift during engraving or cutting.
Import & Adjust the Design File
Open your preferred laser software, such as LaserMaker, and import your design file. Adjust the size and positioning so it fits perfectly within the working area of your acrylic sheet.
Before you start, double-check both your engraving and cutting parameters. Engraving settings should be tuned for crisp text and fine details, while cutting settings should deliver smooth, clean edges without excessive melting.
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Proper focusing is essential for achieving crisp engravings and smooth cuts. If your machine supports auto focus, use it for quick setup. If you prefer manual focus, use the focus stick to adjust the laser head until it touches the surface of the acrylic at the correct angle.
Start Engraving & Cutting
Use the Frame or Border function to preview the laser path and ensure your design aligns with the material correctly.
Once everything is aligned, start the job and stay near the machine while it’s running. Watch the cutting and engraving progress, and keep an eye out for excessive smoke, small flame-ups, or any movement of the material that could affect the outcome.
Post Processing
After everything is cut, remove the pieces from the laser bed. If the acrylic still has protective film on the back, peel it off now.
Layer the engraved clear acrylic onto the black backing and attach them using acrylic adhesive or 3M tape. Check the final trophy for alignment and make sure it is clean before presentation.
Come and Try!
Your custom acrylic trophy is complete—clean, elegant, and ready to be presented at any event or ceremony. Change the artwork, edit the text, switch the theme—and you can create awards that feel personal and unforgettable.
Make one for your team, your club, your friends, or your next event. Your laser machine is ready whenever you are.
