Technical guidance

What matters before production starts.

Separate cut and engrave artwork

Cut lines, score lines and engraving areas should be on separate layers or clearly named.

Face side matters

Engraving the front, reverse or second surface creates different visual results.

Backlit work needs review

Lighting can make depth, haze, scratches and artwork inconsistency more obvious.

Unknown plastics are not acrylic

Perspex is acrylic, but unknown clear plastic should be reviewed before any CO2 laser work.
