Introduction

Let’s turn ceramic plates into one-of-a-kind pieces with laser marking.


Laser marking can create permanent logos, patterns, and custom designs on ceramic plates with clean precision. It adds a personal touch while keeping the surface neat, making it useful for home decoration, restaurants, events, gifts, or custom tableware projects.


In this tutorial, you will learn how to position the ceramic plate, import the marking file, set the correct focus, frame the design, and complete a personalized ceramic plate with Aurora Lite.

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Ceramic Plate

Place the ceramic plate on the laser bed with the marking surface facing upward.


Since the center area is flat, the plate is well suited for laser marking. Make sure the plate is clean, level, and stable before processing.

Import & Adjust the Marking File

Load your design into LightBurn software, then adjust the size and position to fit the ceramic plate.


Check the design placement carefully and make sure the laser marking parameters are set correctly before starting.

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Missing the focus is one of the biggest reasons for laser marking failure. Make sure the ceramic plate surface is properly focused before processing.


You can use auto focus or manual focus. When the focus is accurate, the marked details will appear cleaner and more consistent on the ceramic surface.

STEP04

Frame the Design & Start Laser Marking

Press the frame button and check whether the red light indicates the correct marking area. The frame should be located in the middle of the plate.


If the frame is not aligned, adjust the design position until it fits correctly. After checking, close the laser door and begin the Aurora Lite laser marking process.

Post Processing

Stay near the machine during operation and monitor for unusual sounds or alarms. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam for too long, even when protective measures are in place.


Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and remove the personalized ceramic plate. Clean it gently before using it for restaurants, events, home decoration, or display.
