Crafted with precision, this design is a perfect project for anyone looking to explore artistic laser cutting.
- The Head in Harmony laser cutting Piece is a wall artwork.
- Makes a thoughtful gift for adults.
- This design is created using acrylic or MDF or Plywood.
- It is an an easy Piece, and I expect this can be completed in 1.25 hours for acrylic, 2.25 hours for MDF or 1.75 hours for plywood.
However, the total time to complete this will depend on the laser cutter in use, how large the project is, and your skill level. If you believe the completion time should be adjusted, feel free to let me know via a comment below.

Build guide
Step 1. Gather and prepare all materials - Acrylic: Choose the acrylic colour and use a protective film if required. - MDF: Prepare MDF by painting it with a white undercoat and selecting a paint colour to finish after the laser cutting. - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. Step 2. Set up the project design files - download the design file using the source link located on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Prepare the laser cutter for cutting - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts. - Use the manufacturer’s guidance when selecting material-specific parameters. Step 4. Cut all required layers - Place your chosen material onto the laser bed surface. - Run the cutting process. Step 5. Finish materials after cutting - For MDF: Use a damp cloth to remove smoke marks. Paint the layers once clean. Spray paint gives the best finish. - For Plywood: Clean smoke residue with a damp rag, then apply stain or dye. - For Acrylic: Remove protective film after cutting. Step 6. Assemble the finished layers - Attach a hanging mechanism, such as adhesive strips, to the back of the artwork. - Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface. You’ve now completed Head in Harmony! Take a photo, share it, and enjoy the final piece.
