Before sticking rhinestones, we need to make a pattern and stick rhinestones onto it as the way we want. However, the material normally used to make patterns is a high proportion of all expenses. If the manufacturer needs to make a lot of patterns to increase productivity, material expenses will increase considerably. This month, GCC LaserPro Application Lab will introduce how to make rhinestone pattern with laser engraver and low cost cardboards. The fast and accurate cutting ability of GCC LaserPro laser engraver not only reduces the high material expense, and also cuts down the time for making patterns.

Making Samples:

Materials including:

• Cardboard 370g/㎡~425g/㎡
• Transfer film (Transfer Type)
• Rhinestone

Manufacturing Process

Step 1. Use LaserPro Spirit GX to engrave an exclusive Rhinestone Pattern。

※ The cardboard thickness can not exceed the Rhinestones; otherwise, the Rhinestones are not able to be adjusted.

Step 2. Pour Rhinestones on the engraved patter.

  Suggested Parameters:

Heat Press Machine Parameter:

Temperature: 300℃

Heat pressing time: 60 sec. (Time varies based on different fabric.)  

Tips:

• Adequate air flow can prevent the material become sallow during cutting process.

• Pay attention to temperature and heat press time. Excess temperature will damage the material.

• Make sure the material surface is flat and smooth to avoid out of focus.

• The cardboard thickness can not exceed Rhinestone; otherwise, the Rhinestones are not able to be adhered to the heat transfer film.
