Laser Cut Inlays
My laser engraver is simply another tool in my shop. It is especially good at creating intricate inlays if you know a bit of how the laser cuts (vector operations) and engraves (raster operations). I will start with some explanations of the different types of graphics then some laser theory and then show an example inlay I created in CorelDraw. I actually created this inlay for something I made my son but unfortunately I didn’t get a lot of pictures of the final product due to time constraints but there are plenty of examples here on Todds Workshop for you to see other inlays I’ve done.
