Decoration
Etched into the material
Drinkware, leather patches, timber and acrylic get marked by removing material rather than adding ink, so the output is a vector path and a power setting instead of a raster sheet.
In production: engrave spots placed and previewed in 3D, priced per mark, and vector files at true size for every engraved area of every order.
An etched mark behaves differently from a printed one. There's no colour, only contrast between the material and what the beam has done to it. The file that drives the machine is a set of paths with a depth and a speed, not a picture.
An engrave spot is a print area like any other, and a shopper picks or uploads what goes into it. When the order lands, every engraved area comes out as outlines at true size: an SVG measured in millimetres and a DXF your laser software opens without rescaling.
Because the file is drawn from the same design the shopper approved, the mark on the tumbler is the mark on the screen.
What you get
- Placement. An engrave spot is authored like any other print area, with a real size.
- Preview. The mark is shown on the product in 3D before anybody commits.
- Vector output. SVG in millimetres and DXF, at true size, per engraved area.
- Materials. Tumblers, leather patches, timber and acrylic are the cases we're designing against.
