Engraving Shell
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 11:26 am
Hi All
My name is Paddy, and I am hopefully about to venture into the world of Laser Engraving.
I have a general question, which will help me decide whether it is at all possible to engrave my materials.
My intention is to power carve patterns etc on to Scallop Shells (real shells, and not manufactured).
In order to do this I would like to engrave the pattern on to the shell prior to carving.
My question is: Is it at all possible to engrave something undulating like a Scallop Shell? or am I expecting too much of a laser engraver.
If it can be done................are there any specific conditions that have to be met in order for this to be possible.
Any advice greatly welcome.
Best Regards
Paddy
