How-to Tutorial

Step 1

How to Do It:

The coins I'm using have a 40mm diameter, but as you can see in the settings, I scaled the design down to 29mm x 34mm.

This was intentional - I wanted the engraving to stay within the inner
surface of the coin and not overlap the raised outer edge.

  1. Open the LaserPecker software and drag the coin design file into the workspace.
  2. Resize the image to 29mm x 34mm to ensure it fits neatly inside the coin's inner area.
  3. Apply the engraving settings as shown in the reference image.
  4. Adjust the coin’s position until the blue preview lines match the inner circle of the coin — this ensures the engraving will stay within the
    inner area only.
  5. Ready to engrave!
