Burn In Designs - New Skyway Project Preview

Burn In Designs published a new preview of their Skyway Project:

Normally when you see laser cut terrain you see thin cut lines that help to define panels. They work but do get lost from a distance. This is because they are vector lines. Basically shallow passes of the laser head. They cut fast and you can stack several passes to make them a little wider. They are great for speed and this is the primary reason you see them. We chose to go a different rout though. We are raster engraving the parts. Raster engraving works like an black and white inkjet printer drawing the image on the material one row at a time. This allows you to create nice wide lines and even lines of different depths just by changing the number of passes you go over the sheet. What that means is now we are not limited to simple lines or geometric patterns. We can engrave textures like diamond plate, brick or metal grating directly on the parts that once painted can be pulled out further with a quick drybrush of contrasting color.
