Introduction
Are you still looking for what you can make with a laser?

With laser engraving, you can add patterns, names, reminders, or simple artwork to the coaster surface and make everyday use more personal.
Before your work begins
Operational Process
Prepare & Position the Cork Coaster
Place the cork coaster flat on the laser bed and make sure the engraving surface is clean and stable.
Secure the coaster if needed so it does not shift during engraving. The design should also be adjusted according to the actual type and size of the material before processing.
Import & Adjust the Design File
Import the cork coaster design file into LightBurn, then adjust the size, position, and engraving settings according to the cork surface.
Check that the pattern, reminder, or custom text is placed within the desired engraving area before starting the laser job.
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Accurate focusing is important for clean engraving on cork.
If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it reaches the correct working distance from the cork surface.
Frame the Design and Start Laser Engraving
Use the Frame function to check the engraving area and confirm that the design stays within the cork coaster.
Once everything is aligned, start the laser engraving job. Stay near the machine and monitor the process to ensure the engraved details remain clean and even.
Complete the Task
After engraving, remove the cork coaster from the laser bed and check whether the engraved design is clear.
Gently clean away any surface residue if needed. Your personalized cork coaster is now ready for daily use, desk decoration, or gifting.
Come and Try!
Worried about water stains from cups on your table? A cork coaster helps keep your desk cleaner and more organized.
