Laser cutting is often employed in the metalworking industry to cut metal into desired shapes. Some common products that are produced are: beams, columns, pipes, tubing, and sheet metal. These products can be used in a variety of industries, such as construction, automotive, and aerospace.Â
First, I designed the shape and style using VCarve Pro. I chose to engrave my name and a character from my favorite video game, as well as cut a hole in it to make it a keychain.
Once finished, I sent it to RD Works to identify which parts will be cut and which will be engraved. I cut the decagon and the circle out, and engraved my name and the character.
After running it through the machine, I tied some string through the hole and made a nice, homemade keychain for my backpack.
This is a video of the Laguna machine cutting out and engraving my design.
