3D Laser Engraving | How To Make A Depth Map Out Of Almost Anything | STL to Depth Map | Tutorial

3d Laser engraving is an amazing 3-dimensional engraving down with a laser cutter. Many find this laser outcome extremely elusive and hardly many " master " the technique. Well, let me share with you everything I currently know and see if we can add this tool to everyone's belt. I'll be showing you not only how I engraving it but How to make a 3D Engraving depth map out of almost anything you can get your hands on and even better it's all free as we will be using blender.

If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to get back to them as soon as I can.
