Design a challenge coin your laser can actually cut

The Coin Designer turns a concept into production art: pick from 100+ style cards, set arc text and borders, and mint either a crisp 2D vector design or a full 3D bas-relief backed by a 16-bit grayscale depth map — exported at 300 or 600 DPI, ready for fiber deep engraving or CNC dies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a coin design cost?

The current 2D and 3D engine charges are published on the pricing page and displayed before you confirm a run. The 3D bas-relief path uses a two-stage pipeline: sculpted art plus a 16-bit depth map. Failed generations refund automatically.

What do I download?

High-resolution art at 300 or 600 DPI, and for 3D coins a 16-bit grayscale depth map suited to fiber deep engraving, relief carving, or die-strike prep.

Production checks before export

Use the workflow on a representative sample before committing customer material. Confirm the finished dimensions, smallest line weight, layer assignments, focus, and machine parameters in the software that will run the job. A short test on matching scrap catches scale, contrast, kerf, and material-finish differences while they are still inexpensive to correct.
