Raster Engraving; Vector Cutting - GCC Technologies LaserPro C180II User Manual

6.1 Raster Engraving

A laser engraver can process text, scanned image, digital picture, or design by "laser firing" grids / dots of
individual pixels into a raster image. Think of this as simply "printing" your job onto any particular material. An
example of a raster engraved piece would be a photo engraving on tile, as shown in the picture below.

6.2 Vector Cutting

A laser engraver can process text, design, and images composed of lines through continuous-firing of the
laser to cut out various shapes. When performing vector cutting operations, imagine the laser head as a
pair of scissors cutting out the lines specified in your design. An example of a vector cut piece would be a
customized dining mat, as shown in the picture below.
