Easy-to-follow instructions
Step 1. Get your materials ready - Acrylic: Choose acrylics to match the example and use a protective film if required. - MDF: Prepare MDF by painting it with a white undercoat and selecting paint colours 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. Load and prepare the design file - use the source link to download the design file available on the project page. - unzip the file to open the design. - load the design into your laser cutter software. Step 3. Prepare laser cutter settings - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts. - Refer to your laser cutter’s guidelines for material-specific settings. Step 4. Run the laser cutter - Set the material in place on the laser bed. - Run the cutting process for all required layers. - Ensure that the layers align correctly as they are cut. 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. Put the layers together - Align the layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design. - Use appropriate adhesives: - Acrylic Adhesive for acrylic. - Wood Glue for MDF or plywood. - Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries. - For MDF and plywood, use a gloss spray to enhance and protect the artwork. - Attach a hanging mechanism, such as adhesive strips, to the back of the artwork. - Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface.
