Transform frosted acrylic into a transparent, opaque glazed finish using the Laser Heat Glazing hack. Learn to combine 3D Relief Mode with an out-of-focus laser pass for stunning depth.
Stop settling for standard flat engravings. In this #LaserHack, Laser Dave demonstrates how to utilize a Trotec Speedy 400 to achieve a "liquid" glazed look on cast acrylic. By using a 3D fish scale relief pattern and a secondary 0.5-inch out-of-focus pass at 125 DPI, you can effectively "polish" the material with the laser beam itself.
