Design custom 1.5"-3" metal blanks with circular text banners. Mint in flat 2D vector engraving or 3D bas-relief height maps.
What this tutorial covers
- Build custom coin blanks with circular text banners at any size.
- Choose flat 2D vector minting or a full 3D bas-relief height map.
- Export settings for fiber, MOPA, and CO2 coin production.
Validate the workflow on your machine
Treat the finished file as a controlled starting point, not a universal machine recipe. Confirm the artwork dimensions after import, verify focus and lens selection, and run a small test on scrap from the same material batch before committing the production piece. Change one variable at a time when tuning speed, power, frequency, line interval, or pass count. Record the machine, source wattage, lens, material finish, focus method, and final settings with the saved job. That short production note makes the result repeatable for the next operator and prevents a strong screen preview from being mistaken for a proven burn.
