Marble & Brass Memorial Stone

Prepare the marble and the 3mm brass sheet before processing.

First, attach the finished brass piece to the proper position on the marble surface, making sure it is aligned neatly and firmly. Then place the marble on the worktable and keep it stable, flat, and clean so the photo, text, brass marking, and QR code can be processed accurately.

For marble engraving, preprocess the image before importing it into your laser software. Resize the image to fit the engraving area, then adjust the contrast, brightness, and tonal balance to preserve important details and achieve a clearer engraving result. For more guidance on preparing images and text for marble engraving, see Section 5 of our marble engraving guide.

Once the artwork is ready, import the memorial stone design into your laser software and place each design element in the correct area. Position the processed portrait and text on the marble, then carefully align the brass engraving and QR code layers. Since this project combines marble and brass, review the complete layout before processing to ensure every element is correctly sized, positioned, and aligned in the final memorial design.

Set the correct laser focus for the marble surface and the brass area before marking.

Good focus helps the CO₂ laser produce a clear photo on marble and allows the fiber laser to mark sharp text, brass details, and the QR code. If the material height changes between the marble and brass layer, check the focus again before starting that operation.

Run the Frame function before each processing layer to confirm that the photo, stone text, brass marking, and QR code are all positioned correctly.

Start with the CO₂ laser photo layer on marble, then use the fiber laser for the text on stone, the brass marking, and the QR code. Keep the material in place throughout the process and monitor the job carefully so the layered memorial design stays aligned.

After marking is complete, let the marble and brass surface cool briefly before removing it from the worktable.

Gently wipe away dust or residue from the marked marble and brass areas with a soft cloth. Check that the portrait, text, brass detail, and QR code are clean and readable, then display the finished memorial stone on a stand, shelf, table, or tribute area.
