Inlay Using Laser Engraving
Here is an example of a distinctive effect you can get with laser-cutting. I laser-engraved the laser cutter donation box made by the wood shop warden, Greg Smith. Then I laser-cut the same shapes out of marbled formica, and set those shapes into the engraving.
Great idea. The marbled formica looks great. Did you have to resize the design to get the inlay to fit into the engraved area or was the laser kerf enough? I really need to try something like that.
Thank you! I wondered if it would need adjustment for kerf, but it worked like a charm without adjustment. This was just marbled formica that happened to be sitting around, but I’d like to try one with a cleaner texture.
what do you mean you did that don’t you mean me.
Absolutely!
