For drawing #2, I made a design of Turnip-Head, a character in Howl’s Moving Castle. Each color in the drawing will be a separate engraving, with the darkest colors having the highest power and the lighter colors having less power. This way, I hope to create definition between each layer. This is my Drawing #3,…
First Cuts – Andrew Roush
For my first cut on the laser I chose to cut my SVG from drawing 1, which is a very simplified version of of my current combat robot. I’m considering adding a raster and making it into a keychain. This took 3 cuts to get the cut to come out as I had expected. The…

My first cut went well. Although I anticipated being able to see that the lines on the mountain were vector cuts instead of vector engraves, to distinguish between chairlifts and trails, a difference can still be distinguished. Although the raster settings took some time to get right for the second cut, these both came out…

Drawing 2 (Left) is a drawing of the spinner on my combat robot, with a paint scheme I’m thinking of putting on it, these can also be rastered on the laser with different depths and scaled down to make a nice keychain. Drawing 3 (Right) is generated from code, from p5.js. Line thickness, rotation and…

For my second drawing, I used the “trace bitmap” feature in Inckscape to trace this plane. I then added vector engraving to the plane to create more detail once cut.
First Cuts – Pedro Andre Tose
This is my complete Chess set and I plan to cut a board soon.
Drawings #2 & #3
I decided to cut all 3 of my cuts. The first cut didn’t print the full design. The larger(older) laser cutter was having problems, so I had to switch to the smaller laser cutter for my other 2 cuts. Other students were also having problems with the larger laser cutter that day. Although it seems…
This is an artwork using Black Clover as reference. The black silhouette represents a demon and the person in this artwork is Asta.
Drawings 2 and 3
My second drawing was of an object from the game Destiny 2. It is meant to be a hollow sphere of computers and mechanisms coated in a layer of rock. They can be found on one of the playable destinations in the game and show their age through missing sections of the rock shell and…
First Cuts! – Sydney
I was able to get my Drawing #1 and Drawing #3 cut, but something was wrong with my Drawing #2 where it wasn’t recognizing that the parts I wanted to raster engrave. That was as an .svg file, and I tried editing it a few times but nothing worked. I also tried importing it into…
Drawing #2 & #3 – Sydney
For the raster engrave drawing, I edited the extra one I drew for Drawing #1 of my cat. The design looked a little barren without his black fur anyway! For Drawing #3, I messed with the code until I got this interesting pattern: In all honesty I’m not super math-oriented, so I’m just going to…
Drawings 2 + 3
My drawing 2 is a small one that honors the two family deities of both sides of my family. It has the hand of Laxmi with the chakra of Vishnu. Coincidentally, the two are married in the stories, just like my parents, which I think is pretty neat.
First Cut – Amanda Jones
This was a super cool experience! I have never used the laser before so I really enjoyed it. I only had the time to cut out Drawing 1 but I plan to cut out Drawings 2 and 3 soon. I really liked how it came out, I only used 30 power for the drawing. I…
First Cuts!
This week I was able to laser-cut my first drawing! The first time I went to the laser cutter, I didn’t use the right pen in Inkscape so all my lines appeared as thick outlines. I discovered that I liked this look for the car, but not for the tree. After some edits, I was…
Drawings #2 and #3
For my second drawing, I wanted to incorporate raster engraves by using the Vector Halftone Maker. I chose my favorite bread cat meme, and I imported it into the program. Then in Inkscape, I traced the bitmap and hopefully the laser cutter will register each individual black circle! The third drawing was created using the…
Drawings 2 & 3 – Amanda Jones
For my second drawing, I wanted to do something that made the engraving feel real and added depth to the piece so I used it to make the shadows on the sand dunes in this drawing. I really loved the movie and thought this would be a cool way to depict it. I was messing…
