Discover how a Melbourne-based maker brand scales its design through local laser cutting in Melbourne, Australia. This case study spotlights our long-standing collaboration with Kuppi and Bear — a handmade earring brand led by Kula, with laser cutting support from her husband Nobby, our lead technician here at Melbourne Laser Cutter.
What Is Laser Cutting and Why Does It Matter?
Laser cutting is a modern fabrication process that uses a focused beam to slice through materials with outstanding accuracy. At Melbourne Laser Cutter, we work with makers, students, engineers, and entrepreneurs who need fast, clean, repeatable cuts — especially for intricate items like jewelry and branding components.
Unlike die cutting or CNC, laser cutting services in Melbourne allow for finer detail and less waste, which is ideal for small-batch and handmade product businesses like Kuppi and Bear.
Introducing Kuppi and Bear
Started in Melbourne, Kuppi and Bear produces vibrant acrylic earrings inspired by birds, vintage signs, nostalgic food, and cultural icons. Each design is a collaborative effort — Kula sketches and paints, while Nobby ensures every element is perfectly cut with our laser systems.
From Sketch to Showcase
Here’s how the process flows:
- Initial sketches are digitized into vector format
- We assist in choosing the right acrylic, color layer, and thickness
- Laser cutting in-house in Melbourne ensures edge finish and efficiency
- Kula paints, glues, assembles, and adds protective coatings
The result is a high-quality, handmade product — made scalable thanks to laser-cut precision.
