Wood engraving and cutting

In wood, the laser reveals bas-reliefs, cut-outs and engravings of great delicacy — reinterpreting, with no contact and no tool, gestures once reserved for pyrography or the burin.

Each species reacts in its own way, offering nuances and a finish all its own. Oak carves deeply and contrasts; walnut darkens; birch and light plywood take a crisp, almost printed drawing. Veneer, tinted MDF and composite panels are worked with the same delicacy.

Cutting follows the same line: wave-shaped puzzles, openwork weaves, screens, signs and fit-out pieces come out in a single pass, with no sanding or rework. No tool touches the piece, so no vibration ever marks the edges.

Micro-perforation extends this expertise: thousands of sub-millimetre openings turn a solid panel into an acoustic one, without the eye ever noticing them.
