Laser etching a PowerBook, very daring

Gina over at Lifehacker got hooked up with the incredible Epilog laser cutter at O’Reily’s FOO Camp this past weekend and got a huge Celtic knot etched on her Powerbook.

The Epilog laser cutter was hooked up to a Windows machine running Corel Draw. I designed my knot in Photoshop, dropped it onto a thumb drive as a .bmp file, and loaded it into Corel Draw. We did a dry run on a piece of paper to line up the Apple in the space in the middle of the knot, but the process wasn’t an exact science.

Gina also ran into Kevin Rose who got the digg logo tattooed on his Powerbook.

  1. Epilog makes one kick-ass laser. I never tired of seeing one of these babies in action. That was a great etch job.
