Try This: Laser Engrave Doormats

Use your laser to customize conventional doormats. Create fun designs or personalize them to make unique gifts.

Material required:

• Single-color doormat

Machine used:

• Speedy 400, 120 watts
• 4″ lens
• Vacuum table

For this sample, you can use any machine of the Speedy laser engraver series, or an equivalent from another manufacturer. Just be certain you are using a doormat that will fit in your bed size.

Pro tip: Due to the coarse structure of the doormat, we used a lens with a long focal length to compensate for the unevenness of the material.

Step One: Import the design

Pro tip: You can use a lower resolution to reduce production time. Since a doormat is typically viewed from the distance, the resolution does not need to be as high.

Put the doormat into your laser. Determine and adjust the parameter settings. The recommended settings can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.

Laser Parameters: Engraving

Pro tip: Since a doormat is typically viewed from the distance, a resolution of 333 DPI is sufficient.
