Hello,

I need to do a project which requires laser cutting along with etching in one art pc. Can someone show me how to do that? Let me know and i will show up to learn this technique. Truly appreciate it.

Have you taken laser basics? What sort of files do you have? You need a vector file to cut and either a vector or raster to etch.

I personally set the different steps as different files and load them one at a time. You can sort their order on the tree on the right and toggle between etch and cut. Typically etching is done first, then cuts.

Tonight’s Inkscape class (7:30pm) is designed to help students prep files for the laser. If your question is not covered directly, we can talk about it after.
