URBAN CANVAS AND STREET ART
STENCILS
The Stencil Warehouse (TSW) welcomes the
opportunity to work on artistic projects; we currently work with canvas
artists and sculptors that utilise our vector drawing services and
laser cutting technology, all with excellent results.
Below are few questions and
answers about
our services.
Why should I use a laser to
cut my design?
Laser cutting has many advantages over traditional methods of stencil
manufacture with few drawbacks and can be financially viable from a
one-off to thousands-off. Hence this works well for artists and
sculptors who typically want an accurate one-off design. We can laser
etch and cut a variety of materials with an accuracy of 0.2mm.

Can you create my complex design
into a multi layer stencil?
Yes, typically we draw and cut a wide range of urban or abstract
stencil designs on multiple layers for artists working with paint and
canvas. As you know, stencils are a good way to reproduce designs using
different colours and effects.
How should I supply my artwork/
design and in what format?
You can send your design via our custom quote wizard , we need a good
size/ quality (300dpi) image in one of the formats .ai .eps .giff .jpeg or
.psd.
The quickest and cheapest way to recreate your
design into a laser cut stencil is provide us by with a vector outline
drawing .EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) file by email attachment or send
us a CD. See below for Tutorials - creating outline drawings.

How
large or small can you cut my design?
Once your design is computerised we can adjust the size with ease. Our
laser cutter has a flat bed and we have a material cutting area of up
to 1 meter x 1.75 meter. Depending on the type of design we can cut a
much larger
size by the process of sticking the stencil sheets together like a
jigsaw. We don't typically cut designs/ wording under 5mm.

I want to laser cut my design in
sheet metal. Can you do this?
No, we do not laser cut metals. However, unlike a lot of laser cutting
companies we understand how to create vector drawings with an artistic
flair. We can create your vector artwork and once approved, we can send
(email) the file (your design) to our partner Laser Company who will
cut it in a metal of your choice.
A quick overview to understand more
about utilising a laser cutter by
creating your own vector drawing:
With each customer we work in different ways, this varies depending on
your computer skills and information to hand. If you are not computer
minded we can guide you through the process of creating a laser cut
stencil using our vector design service.
