Introduction: Laser Cut Rubber Stamp Design
I am borrowing from the well-designed How to Run the SparkTruck Stamps Workshop Instructable but tailoring this for a professional development workshop at our school.
Goal:
Materials & Tools: https://guicapig.hatenablog.com/entry/2020/10/14/213929.
Step 1: Brainstorm Your Stamp
Your stamp can be anything you like but here are some ideas to get you started:
Write down ten ideas on a piece of paper.
Step 2: Sketch Your Stamp
Using the brainstorming list you created, use a sharpie and piece of paper to sketch two possible ideas for a rubber stamp.
Step 3: Create Your Logo in Illustrator
Note: I use the notation Menu-->Item as in File-->New to represent clicking on the File menu at the top of the screen and choosing New.
Choose one of the sketches and create a digital version of it using Adobe Illustrator or another vector drawing program (e.g. InkPad on an iPad).
Create a new document In Adobe Illustrator CS6, click File-->New. Change the Width and Height to 1.25 in and click OK. You may want to click View-->Zoom Out (or Zoom In) to adjust the viewable size of the square.
Create a shape, download an image, or add text:
1. Use the shape tools to create an outline. Click and hold on the Rectangle Tool to access other shapes:
Click and drag to create a shape. Use the Selection Tool (black arrow) to move or resize a shape.
2. Download an image from the Internet https://spiratat.hatenablog.com/entry/2020/10/14/173830. using a browser (e.g Chrome). For the sake of simplicity, include the word 'silhouette' with any Google Image search (example) or specify Clip Art by clicking on Search Tools, clicking on Type and then clicking on Clip Art:
PNG images are recommended because of their transparent backgrounds. To limit searches to PNGs, append the search term filetype:png (e.g. instead of searching for 'kids', search for 'kids filetype:png').

3. Use the Type tool to add text:
To change the font and size, click Type-->Font or Type-->Size.
Step 4: Prepare Your Logo for Laser Cutting
[Aside: If you plan to engrave the image onto a wooden stamp block, Select-->Select All and copy and paste everything to a location off of the artboard (background) area so that you can retrieve it later.]
In order to reduce the amount of rubber around your design (and thus reduce accidental ink smears when using your stamp), draw a basic shape around your design:
Set the stroke width to 0.1 (one tenth) to signify a vector cut:
Click Object-->Arrange-->Send to Back. https://ameblo.jp/anerpresor1978/entry-12630838102.html.
Because the laser cutter will be rastering (burning away) anything that is black, you need to invert the colors of your design:
You will also need to create a mirror image of your design:
Save your file before moving on to the next step:
Step 5: Transfer Digital File to Laser Cutter Computer
In our Lab, the laser cutter connects to a computer via an ethernet cable. You will need to email the Illustrator file that contains your design to that computer.
Step 6: Engrave and Cut Your Image
Each laser cutter is different in terms of procedure and print settings. Refer to documentation that is provided with your machine. The settings suggested below are those I used with our Epilog Helix 50-watt laser cutter.

Vector cutting
Step 7: Cut Wood Block
Using a japanese handsaw, jigsaw, or other saw, cut a piece of wood that is approximately 1.25' x 1.25' or slightly larger. This will be the base of the rubber stamp. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures including wearing safety goggles.
Step 8: (Optional) Engrave Wood Block
If you saved a copy of your original design and would like to engrave it onto the wooden block, move/delete the inverted design from the artboard/background and replace it with the original design. Configure your laser cutter for the type of material you are engraving. I used the following settings:

Step 9: Assemble
Attach the rubber stamp piece to the bottom of the wooden block using double-stick foam tape.
