Summary

[edit]
Description

Using the Laser Cutter/Etcher at <a href="http://www.maklab.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Glasgow Maklab</a> to etch an OpenStreetMap map of Edinburgh, at a recent OSM hack day.

Printing done using vector image using multiple colours, each of which sets a different speed/intensity of cutting. Here, the laser is cutting the outline, burning all the way through the wood. The smell of burnt wood is delicious ;-) Output direct from ArcGIS to EPS format, then modified in Corel Draw. Thanks to Stuart at Maklab for showing us the ropes!

Was surprised by the level of detail you could get.

Here's a <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/drnoble/8501866636/">an example cut on transparent Acrylic</a>
