Design: Optimizing the File for Laser Cutting
To obtain a functional stencil, a beautiful design is not enough: a solid mechanical structure is required.
The Concept of "Bridges"
Unlike a common print, in a stencil, the internal parts (such as the center of the letter "O" or "B") must remain connected to the main mask. These connections are called bridges. Bridges.
Technical File Requirements
We accept vector files in DXF, AI, SVG, or PDF (vector) formats generated with software such as Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, or Inkscape.
Pro Tip: If you don't know how to insert bridges or if your logo is not stencil-ready, our team can handle the vectorization and optimization of your file. vectorization and optimization of your file
Application Guide: How to Achieve a Flawless Result
A high-quality stencil is only half the job. Here is how to apply it without smudging:
-
Preparation: The surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust.
-
Fastening: Use a repositionable spray adhesive on the back of the stencil. This is the secret to making the millimeter-fine edges adhere and preventing paint from seeping through. Alternatively, use high-quality painter's tape.
-
"Dry" Technique: The most common mistake is using too much paint. Whether you use a stencil brush (flat tip), a sponge, or a roller, always "unload" the excess color onto a piece of paper towel before touching the stencil.
-
Movement: Apply the color with a dabbing motion perpendicular to the surface, never side-to-side.
Maintenance and Longevity
PETG or Mylar stencils are a long-term investment.
-
Immediate Cleaning: Wash them immediately after use with warm water and soap (for water-based paints) or white spirit (for enamels), acting gently on thin bridges.
-
Storage: Always store them flat (for example, between two sheets of cardboard) to prevent them from warping or bending thin parts.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
| How small can a detail be? | The laser has a beam of approximately 0.1 – 0.2 mmbut we recommend bridges of at least 1-2 mm to ensure structural stability during use. |
| Can I use the stencil on curved surfaces? | Yes, our thin PETG materials are extremely flexible and adapt perfectly to cylinders or curved walls. |
| Do you also provide graphic design services? | Certainly. We can transform your raster image (JPG/PNG) into a file ready for laser cutting. |
