Lasercutting Induction

After admiring everyone's laser cut work I finally managed to book an induction and a couple of slots on the laser cutter.
I kind of had some idea after watching my friends use the machine several times.
Test Sample I completed which uses all of the different techniques, Cut through, Engraving, Kiss Cut and Rastering.
Different types of engraving, and a jpeg rastered onto wood.
An intricate piece cut out of 3mm acryllic. (Estimate time - 1hour 15mins.)
Programme and saving instructions.
One girl used the laser cutter to cut out her brand in wood, she then put several papers through a press with the wooden stencil which then embossed it almost onto the paper (Above Left)
This is a technique Im definitely interested in!!

I have my first session on my own booked in for tomorrow, Im going to try create my own lace, almost like the red design on the acrylic but as its my first time I think Im going to do something simple first to get used to it!
