Photo Spiral Examples
See what you can engrave with the Photo Spiral Generator. Both pieces below were laser-engraved on 2 mm white plywood. The spiral path traces the entire photo in one continuous unbroken line, with thickness varying to recreate the tones.
Materials used:
Top piece engraved using the score method (single-pass scoring along the path); bottom piece engraved using the fill method (line interior filled in for darker, more saturated tones).
