Hi this is Tim from Create-A-Lase your one stop shop for all things laser and printing related as well as your trusted source of useful DIY ideas. Today we are going to see another DIY project we can do with a laser machine.

Aside from cutting, another thing we can do with a laser machine is engraving. If you have a laser machine, there are a lot of things you can do with it. It could be for business, personal use, or even as a hobby. We are going for an overview of the process today, should you want a more detailed explanation and this interests you kindly drop a comment on our Medium or YouTube below.

Before we begin with laser engraving tankards, let’s take a quick look and prepare what we will be using. The good news is we don’t really need a lot.

What We Need:

  • Tankard
  • Laser Machine
  • CorelDraw or any Vector program you prefer.

Now that we have what we need, we will take a look at the process of laser engraving tankards.

The Steps:

  • Step 1: Prepare the design using a vector program
  • Step 2: Forward the design to the laser.
  • Now for Step 3: Prepare the tankard by cleaning before putting it in the laser.
  • Step 4: Put the tankard in the laser, print the design, and let the engraving begin.

There we go we have made our own custom laser engraved tankards. You could use this as a gift, a unique decoration depending on what’s engraved or if you have a business this could also be a way of showing appreciation to your employees or clients.
