Rubber stamps are durable and produce precise, reusable impressions. Easy to use and customisable, laser rubber stamps are perfect for everything from fun assignments to personal branding.

Now is going to use a Thunder Laser system to make rubber stamps. Let’s start to explore fun with the laser!

Supplies

Material: 2mm Grey Rubber

Laser head: 2" head

Laser engraving machine: Thunder Bolt Pro32 55watt

Setting Parameters:

Processing Mode:

Engraving speed: 200mm/s

Engraving power: 80%

DPI: 500

Ramp Length: 0.6

Cutting speed : 10mm/s

Cutting power: 70%

DPI generally choose 300, but here choose 500 DPI to get the depth of the stamps need. Then check the advanced options to confirm the ramp length value of '0.6', turn on 'the ramp outer edge', so that the stamps' pattern will be more clear and durable.

You can also draw on CorelDraw and then click on the laser plug-in to switch to the laser software. Set the appropriate parameters on the laser software and click Download to transfer the design to your laser engraving machine.

Place the rubber on the work table of the laser engraving machine, move the laser head to the center of the boards, adjust the focal length, press the “Origin” on the LCD control panel to set the starting position, and then press the “Start” to start the work. Get the laser stamps out, then we can clean them.

Wash It:

The nature of rubber is that after engraving it produces a greyish powder. And we can remove the powder with a toothbrush and running water. Clean it and then you can assemble it. Let's do it ourselves!
