Laser-Cut Paper Art: Wedding Invitations, Lace Cuts, Bridges

Paper is the most permissive cutting material in terms of power, and the least permissive in terms of geometry. Every floating island wants to lift off the bed on the air assist. Lazrit's paper profile defaults to 0.3 mm thickness, 1 mm minimum bridge, and 0.5 mm minimum detail — tight enough for fine lace patterns, robust enough that the design doesn't curl out of position mid-cut.

Wedding invitations and lace

These are the showcase pieces for laser-cut paper. The risk is twofold: floating elements that lift on air assist, and fragile webs that tear when you peel the invitation off the bed. The topology check catches both.

Recommended settings

Cardstock (0.3 mm) on a 40 W CO2: ~200 mm/s at 20% power, single pass. Drop air assist if pieces are lifting. Layers of tape on the bed give friction for fine work.

How Lazrit prepares paper files

Trace → topology → bridges → review. Bridges on paper are visually unobtrusive at 1 mm — narrower than the line weight of the design itself.

Common pitfalls

Fragile webs (less than 0.5 mm between cuts) tear during handling. Sharp inner corners on thin webs become tear initiation points. Both get flagged at validation.

Frequently asked questions

Can Lazrit handle scoring paths for paper folds?

Mark the fold paths as engrave layer (low power, no cut-through). They export on a separate layer so LightBurn can assign score settings.

What about parchment, vellum, and translucent paper?

Same profile is a reasonable start. Vellum can melt rather than cut — slow it down further.

Will Lazrit warn about fragile lace patterns?

Yes. Anything under 0.5 mm detail or 1 mm bridge width is flagged before export.

Can I batch a stack of invitations on one bed?

Pure layout is outside Lazrit's scope — but you can export the single-piece SVG and tile it in LightBurn.
