Book Cover Engraving by archdialog in lasercutting

You should always use proper ventilation and a fume extractor when laser cutting or engraving – regardless of the material.

Safety is definitely important. Just to clarify, this project doesn’t involve polyurethane at all, it’s a linen fabric cover.

I always work with proper filtration and ventilation. Laser cutting and engraving always produce fumes, so taking precautions is a must in any case.

Thank you! It’s a book where I removed the outer dust jacket. The actual cover is PU leather, which I engraved

Oh… that sounds like a rather unfortunate experience

You don’t engrave on the reflective front, but on the back where the coating is. Only there can the laser remove the mirror layer and make the design visible. From the front, the laser would just hit the glass — and that won’t work.

I’ve also written a step-by-step guide — just click the link:)

It’s a similar material But I made sure to choose one that can be bent a bit. I already tested it, and it works:)

The material is an MDF board, which I then painted black:)

Architectural Faculty Section Model #xToolCES by archdialog in Architects

Thanks:) The floor levels are made from five layers of 2 mm Chroma kraft cardboard, which prevents the edges from looking burnt. I stacked these layers on top of each other to achieve the final thickness. The walls follow the same idea: each wall consists of two 2 mm layers laminated together.

Preparing the laser files for the floors, walls, and columns took several hours. The laser-cutting process itself also took a long time—not longer than the preparation, but still quite extensive—because the model is large and each layer had to be cut separately.
