Information

      In this project, we’ll create a stunning color engraving on a round stainless steel pendant using an IR laser. The "Great Wave" design gives a timeless, detailed look while showcasing the color-changing effect unique to stainless steel engraving. This method produces a durable, smooth finish without cutting or removing material.

Instruction

Step1: Test Settings with your Material

Preview

Different kinds of stainless steel create different colours. To check if the colours are to your liking we recommend checking the parameters first. A Test Grid is included in the file.

Step2: Adjust size

If necessary adjust the size and parameters of the file to your material

Step3: Set up your pendant

Place it flat on your laser bed
Use a jig to hold it securely in position (like Laser cut and engrave | Centering Jig for xTool F1 | Free Files - Atomm)
focus the IR laser on the metal surface
