My first cut was relatively successful. The computer in the Unity Prototyping lab would not allow me to download my design as an SVG, so I had to import it as a PDF. This meant that the swirly outline could not be separated from the raster engraved design. I added an additional rectangle encompassing my…

First Cut – Deanna Polosino
For my first cut, I choose my first drawing to engrave and cut. I had some issues importing my drawing to the laser cutter but this was the final result.
First Cut – Abbie Wang
For my first cut, I chose to cut out my Drawing #1 which is a Canon A-1 film camera. First attempt I use 100% speed, 10% power, 1 pass for engraving the lines and 100% speed, 20% power, 3 pass for the cutting. The engraving power of first attempt comes out to be to strong…
First Cuts Assignment
I got my first drawing laze cut! Here is the result!
First Cut
I chose to laser cut my first drawing of flowers. Some of the lines came out darker than others, and some of the lines are visible on the back of the piece so I will have to play around with the power and number of passes for future pieces. Overall I’m happy with the result.

I started to do my second drawing of a Rubik Cube but was unable to finish it. I tried to be a little ambitious and use different powers for different colors. I think I finally have the procedure down for how to do this properly, but there was a learning curve that took me longer…
First Cuts – Lauren Waddick
For my first cuts, I tried cutting out drawings #1 and #2. I had trouble getting the power settings right on the first drawing so ended up having to cut it out again after the test print. My second cut was more tricker with the raster engrave since it was a drawing on paper traced…
Rachel May First Cut
For my first cut, I chose to cut out my Drawing #1 of a yarn ball and crochet hook. I had the speed high and the power low for the engraving, and it is darker on some lines and lighter on the rest. Not sure why this happened, but will fix it for my next…
Calvin’s First Cut
Laser! Cut! Halftone Dithering! Japan! Pagoda! Yipee!
First Cut(s) – Deidra Anderson
I printed my Celtics logo drawing as my first cut. You can see from the laser photo that I didn’t get the engrave settings quite right the first time (despite test cuts), so I stopped the machine mid-cut and tried again. I had never used the laser cutter before, so shoutout to Calvin for the…
