Vector for Engraving
A lot of our vector drawings are for engravers who tell us they will use the vector file for relief engraving, laser engraving, sandblasting, etching, or cutting. I am guessing these are some of the few process left that require vector art. Although I have never actually used an engraving machine or tool, I have been preparing vector graphics since 2000 for many different purposes including engraving and sign cutting. Below is a recent engraving project The image engraved on this stone needs to be reproduced in vector format This is the vector drawing as per Engraver specifications Engraver work in progress Final engraved product See the project from beginning to end, including errors and corrections that needed to be done before the vector drawing was appropriate for the particular process: http://vector-conversions.com/engraving.html
