Made some gifts for clients that James is taking to a Sumo competition.
The cups were ordered from Japan, and I laser-engraved our logo and the customer’s logos.
I had to make a 3D printed holder to ensure that the face I was engraving was horizontal during the process.
It is always a lot more complicated than it seems at first sight.
- The customer logos were in different formats and colours, and had to be converted to vector files
- The file needed reference points to ensure all logos would fit on the available space and be easily calibrated once at the laser.
- The cups were not square or flat…
- A couple of cups were substantially undersized
- Calibrating the laser to have a repeatable engraving
- Cleaning up the laser dust on the nicely finished wood
- Putting back the cups inside their boxes without damaging the thin paper wraps of various sizes…
- Labelling the finished products for each client
I only had one “spare” to play with for the laser settings, etc, as usual, it was all very tight in deadlines….
I hope the clients enjoy the evening and the gifts!
