Here's a quick test I did this morning. Exported a design using the new grayscale export feature in A2, then scaled it down to 300 dpi and laser engraved it, finished size is 2"x3".
With a little tweeking laser engravers should be able to quickly create 3D grayscales for engraving.

NSchlee,
Very nice execution!
I take it, the subject was smoked salmon?
How powerful is your laser, and are there many safety precautions
to be aware of with your system?
Thanks for sharing!

Glenn thanks, it's a ULS (Universal) 120 watt 32" x 18" x 8" system. It's configured with 2-60 watt lasers that can be used as one beam or split. Safety precautions are built into the machine thru doors that have interlocks.glenn wrote:NSchlee,
