Rubber

6 settings3 machines

This page lists 6 community-tested settings for Rubber. Rubber engraving and cutting works on both CO₂ and diode lasers, but always use laser-safe rubber or stamp rubber — natural rubber produces toxic fumes. For rubber stamp making, higher DPI (400–500) gives sharper detail. Strong ventilation and air assist are essential. Invert your design so dark areas become the raised stamp surface.

Rubber stamp material is a soft, flexible sheet designed specifically for laser cutting and engraving to create custom stamps. It ablates cleanly to create raised stamp relief.

Use the lowest power that still achieves clean ablation — too much heat melts rather than ablates. The depth of cut determines how much ink the stamp holds. PVC-free rubber is essential; PVC releases toxic chlorine gas when lasered.

Custom rubber stamp engraving at 500 DPI — the Epilog is widely used by stamp makers. The fine beam and precise motion produce sharp, deep reliefs. Use stamp rubber or laser-safe rubber (not natural rubber which produces toxic fumes). Wash the stamp with soap and water after engraving to remove residue.
