In this article, we help you create the The Last Supper Laser Cutting Build.
Using a laser cutter, create a detailed replica of the Last Supper. Design the intricate scene, cut the layers from wood, and assemble them to achieve a 3D effect. This project merges art and craftsmanship, allowing you to produce a stunning piece that honours this iconic moment in history.
- The The Last Supper laser cutting Build is a wall artwork.
- A unique gift choice for adults.
- The design uses plywood.
- It is an an intermediate Build, and I expect it should be completed in 4 hours.
However, the completion timeframe will depend on the laser cutter you use, how large the project is, and your comfort level with laser cutting. If you believe the time estimate should be adjusted, you’re welcome to let me know via a comment below.

Simple step-by-step guide
Step 1. Select and prepare your materials - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. Step 2. Download and open the design file - download the project design file from the source link included on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Configure cutting parameters - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts and sufficient power for engraving to ensure it can be seen after applying dye or stain. - Use the manufacturer’s guidance when selecting material-specific parameters. Step 4. Execute the laser cutting process - Place the material correctly on the laser bed. - Run the cutting and engraving process for all required layers. - Ensure that the layers align correctly as they are cut. Step 5. Finish materials after cutting - For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye. Step 6. Assemble the cut components - Align the layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design. - Use appropriate adhesives: - Wood Glue for plywood. - Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries. - A gloss spray enhances and protects the artwork for plywood. Step 7. Attach mounting hardware - As the artwork is heavy, take it to a professional service and get advice about how to place it on your wall. Alternatively, place it on a shelf where it will lean against a wall. Great work completing The Last Supper! Find the perfect place to display it and enjoy the final outcome.
