Engraving paper with the Aufero Laser Engraver: This video is an attempt to translate a pattern onto paper with a laser. The pattern turned out well, however there are of course limitations, such as the density of hatches and the thickness of the paper itself. While engraving paper, most important is to avoid that the laser engraves the same line twice. The laser will burn through the paper otherwise. Additionally, if you engrave paper, make sure to watch the engraving process as the paper may catch fire. Otherwise, engraving drawings is a great way to explore new ways to translate digital drawings on a canvas that is permanent.
