In this video, we look at three different ways to make laser-cut name signs with multiple layers. The three approaches give us a look into how three different modifiers - Flatten, Weld and Score, and Layered Stack - each work and when we would use them.
Flatten creates an inset look which lets you use two different materials but is tricky to assemble. Weld and Score uses a single material but you can add more visual interest using paint. And Layered Stack lets you use two materials and stack them.
