Introduction

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


Try creating a plywood version of a classic eight-horse painting. This project combines laser engraving and cutting to reproduce an ink-wash-style artwork on wood.


After engraving the horse artwork and cutting the outer shape, you can frame the finished piece and use it as a decorative wall display for your living room, studio, or office.

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Plywood

Place the 9mm plywood sheet flat on the laser working table and make sure the surface is clean and stable.


Secure the plywood if needed so it does not shift during engraving and cutting. The design should also be adjusted according to the actual type and size of the material before processing.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Design File

Design the eight-horse painting file in CorelDraw, then send it to the laser software using the laser plug-in.


Input the engraving and cutting parameters, check the processing layers, and download the file to the laser cutter. The settings are only for reference, so users should test to find the best settings for their own material and machine.

STEP03

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Move the laser head to the correct starting position and adjust the focal distance before engraving and cutting.


After focusing, press the Origin button to set the starting point. Accurate focusing helps achieve clearer engraving details and more reliable cutting results on plywood.

STEP04

Frame the Design & Start Laser Engraving & Cutting

Use the Frame function to check the working area and confirm that the eight-horse painting design stays within the plywood sheet.


Once everything is aligned, press Start to run the engraving and cutting job. Stay near the machine and monitor the process carefully.
