On my LS6840 I would like to do QR codes but when I create it on Coreldraw, obviously I am getting something wrong. How would you create this complicated design so that it doesnt turn out as shown below?tom qr lasered1.jpg

Sadly it says that the board attachment quota has been reached....

Post pictures to an online gallery like photobucket and post the link

I would create the image as a high res png and then engrave at a high DPI as well.

Not tried it myself to be honest.

Hi Tom,

I've successfully engraved QR codes using several different processes.

(1) As Dave says, simply save your QR code as a Black and White (1-bit) image and engrave away. If you need some cuts as well, you'll need to import a DXF separately, and make sure that the QR and the cuts are correctly registered.

(2) Use Inkscape (or similar) to trace a QR code and be careful to select the right options in your "trace" dialog. What you do want is crisp, orthogonal edges, (no rounding) so make sure you choose those options. In some cases it can be easier to increase or decrease the number of pixels in the image you're tracing, to tweak the result.

(3) Draw your QR code by hand. (Yes, I have done this. It's not recommended!)

Best,

James
