Similar to an inkjet printer, raster engraving images with a laser cutter is very slow since the laser must scan each line. In order to save time, I developed a way to make vector engraved crosshatch fills that laser cutters can finish much faster. Instead of going over the entire area, the laser only needs to engrave the vector paths of the lines thereby saving copious amounts of time. An added benefit is a more consistent result since rastering large areas emphasize grain variations in the wood.
