Series of experimentations to use the plotter machine to engrave a generative pattern made on processing, on a copper sheet varnish for engraving.
Graphtec studio the software to use the plotter, in this case, the purpose is just to take of the varnish on the sheet of copper and not engrave the metal. After we will use acid to scrape it. For this i will use the minimum « speed » 1 and the minimum « cut force » 1.
When the copper sheet is finish to engrave, we process to the regular engraving process.
