01 /The design
Ornament shaped by layers.
The cross outline holds a dense pattern of curves and interlaced shapes. Dark recessed layers separate the ornament from the face of the piece.
The design combines cutting and engraving. Check those operations in your laser software before preparing the five layers for assembly.
Five-layer structure.
Stack the cut layers in order to build the cross’s depth.
Cut and engraved detail.
Different operations define the openings and surface ornament.
Glue in order.
The listed assembly method is to align and glue the layers together.
02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Check the detail.
Inspect the smallest bridges and fine cutouts at your chosen size. Cut a small sample before committing a full sheet.
Keep the layers aligned.
Use the same scale for every layer. Check the design against your laser’s usable work area before cutting.
Stack in order.
Arrange the cut layers in order and check their alignment before fixing them together.
Plan this build.
Inspect the smallest ornamental connections before reducing the design. Check the actual file size, separate engraving from cutting and make a material test first.

What do I receive?
SVG, DXF and CDR vector design files plus PNG images. No assembly guide or physical cross is supplied.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every layer by the same percentage. The overall dimensions change, and fine bridges can become fragile when reduced. Material thickness changes the depth of the stack; check any alignment features or fitted connections and test a small section first.
