- Laser work needs vector files (SVG/DXF): cut lines as hairlines, engraving as filled shapes.
- Minimum feature size is about the material thickness; add bridges so letters like O and A do not fall out.
- Engraving is monochrome: use line art or high-contrast images.
What manufacturers need from you
- Item
- Material: plywood, hardwood, acrylic, leather, stainless steel, aluminum
- Size
- Cut, engrave or both (optional)
