Laser etching slate

9/27/2014

I had te chance to play with some more slate last night.

I tried a couple things and all came out pretty decent. I used my friends name, BAZ as a guinea pig.

The laser can easily engrave the letters in a traditional raster engraved sense.

With a little twist in Corel I also created the rubber stamp look, etching material away, leaving the letters behind.

Last fun twist was using the vector cut mode to get a deeply engraved outline for the letters. I really like the rubber stamp look the best. The vector cut lines are clean and crisp, but almost too precise to be plainly visible from a distance.
