Graduation stoles for UPV and IDEAS UPV

The project

We made these orange felt graduation stoles for UPV and IDEAS UPV, personalised with text and logos. Our contribution focused on cutting and engraving the stoles, from preparing a sample to marking the position of the information and testing power settings.

Work began with laser cutting the felt. We adjusted the cutting power to control its effect on the edges, taking care to avoid burning the material during the operation.

Once the sample was ready, we marked where the information should sit before moving on to engraving. This stage established the positions of the text and logos on the stole.

For the engraving, we tested different power levels, aiming for clear lettering without piercing or damaging the felt, while seeking to retain its texture and colour. The result was a set of orange graduation stoles with institutional identification engraved on their surface.

The sample provided the starting point for marking the position of the information before engraving.

Cutting and engraving required separate power adjustments for each operation.
