I knew going in that the cutting process would be challenging because the wood veneers are really thin and because I have small pieces in my design. I went into the makerspace with the idea that my test cuts would not take too long, but I was very very wrong. I had a lot more to test than I initially realized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The first tests I did were to check that the laser was cutting properly and how rastering on my plywood would turn out. After talking with Professor Rosenstock, we had the idea to embed the veneer design into a raster on plywood. The four bottom squares on the far left of the image below represent these cuts. You probably can&#8217;t read the numbers too well, but I wrote the rastering power next to each test square. I determined that the 20% raster fits the veneer best and lays almost flush. (I tested 10%, 15% and 20%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The next set of cuts I did were on a piece of scrap veneer. Keep in mind that its roughly the same thickness of cardstock, so I needed vastly different laser settings. I did a total of nine vector cuts and one raster, which you can see in the first and second images below. The settings I used are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>30% with 1 pass = cuts<\/li><li>25% with 1 pass = cuts<\/li><li>5% with 2 passes = cuts<\/li><li>5% with 1 pass = cuts<\/li><li>3% with 1 pass = almost cuts through<\/li><li>2% with 1 pass = almost cuts through<\/li><li>1% with 1 pass = almost cuts through<\/li><li>0.5% with 1 pass = almost cuts through<\/li><li>0.3% with 1 pass = almost cuts through<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The second image I took with a white background to show how far the laser cuts through the veneer even at low power. Moving forward I&#8217;ll probably use the 0.3% power for my vector engraves and 5% power with one pass for my vector cuts. None of the vector engrave squares have fallen out of the piece however, so I am assuming that they are all pretty stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-1024x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-1024x380.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-800x297.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-768x285.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-1536x571.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-2048x761.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152635-2-600x223.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-1024x631.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-800x493.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-1536x946.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913-487x300.jpg 487w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152913.jpg 1908w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">With the remaining time I had in lab I decided to test cut the lily pad layer from my design. Immediately after some of the pieces were cut they flew off into the machine and out of my reach. Funny enough, they weren&#8217;t even the smallest pieces that flew away. I quickly learned that the further away from the back of the machine I place my material, the less likely the pieces will blow away completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-1116\" data-id=\"1116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-766x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-599x800.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-1149x1536.jpg 1149w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-1533x2048.jpg 1533w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152725.jpg 1876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1613\" height=\"2560\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-1117\" data-id=\"1117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-scaled.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-scaled.jpg 1613w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-504x800.jpg 504w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-645x1024.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-768x1219.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-968x1536.jpg 968w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-1290x2048.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/20210407_152639-2-189x300.jpg 189w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1613px) 100vw, 1613px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">QUESTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Before I continue cutting my design out I need to figure a few things out and want your help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background\">How do I handle cutting out the smallest pieces of my design?
