The new Laguna RotoBoss Rotary turner rotates the beer growler as the custom text is placed on the surface. This fun laser project serves as an example of how easy it is to custom engrave a cylindrical object of all materials and sizes, such as glass, aluminum, stainless steel, and more!

From the software design to the machine, this laser engraving how to tutorial was aimed to be used as a learning tool when producing your own creations. Follow along as Oswald and Ortensia along with the text make their way through Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and are then imported into LightBurn software where the file is finished and prepared for the CO2 laser. The cartoon characters are finally laser burned onto what becomes a custom wooden plaque in a matter of minutes! Use this process to create your own personalized wall art to your taste!

In this video, we explain every step on how to give your CO2 laser an additional 7 inches of Z-clearance, giving it a total of 14 inches. Doubling the space will allow you to laser engrave or laser cut larger and taller objects. Take advantage of this tip to broaden your laser's capacity and align it further with your woodworking creativity!

Go team go! To celebrate the LA Rams football team's victory in the Super Bowl this year, we laser cut the team logo from acrylic on a CO2 laser. The process of putting this logo together consisted of an acrylic inlay, with individual colors cut out one at a time, and then placing them all together like a puzzle. Sign making on the Laser EX is limitless, as it gives you the power to draft up whatever your imagination holds!

Which sign should we laser next? Comment below with your ideas!

In this video, watch as we use one of our CO2 lasers to personalize a cutting board with handwritten, family recipes which presents a meaningful gift that will last for generations to come. Who doesn't love a recipe that has made its way down the family tree? This laser engraving woodworking project represents a piece of family history that can be enjoyed by everyone. The process of transferring the recipe consisted of a few simple steps. It started as a photo, was then imported onto Adobe® Illustrator to be made a vector, and was finalized in Lightburn® software where the file was complete. You can take the design one step further with a custom engraved initial or artistic graphic for a more elaborate version.

In this video, we'll give you the step by step guide on how to design, edit, and laser engrave any image of your choice using a CO2 laser. We start by picking out the desired image, in this case a jaguar, and import it into Procreate® software. Using this application, we established the entire design of the woodworking project. With the completed digital artwork, we head over to Adobe® Illustrator to convert the design into a vector file which is then ready to be moved into Lightburn®. This is where final cut settings and measurements are applied. Lastly, we demonstrate uploading the file onto the SmartShop® Laser|EX where we select the file and finish the jaguar engraving.

What will you engrave using your laser?
