Engraving a City Map with a Laser Cutter



It used to be very difficult to get a clean digital image of a city map that could be laser engraved onto materials. Now, there are lots of free options available online where you can export a high quality map and follow a few simple steps to get a laser ready city map for cutting and/or engraving.

Here’s how I export a high quality map and set it up for engraving with my Glowforge laser cutter. The website I reference in the video is https://snazzymaps.com/
