XY Plotter / Laser Engraver to score origami folds?


#1

Can the Makeblock XY Plotter with laser engraver upgrade be used to score paper to make precise creases for origami, as described in: http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Etched-Paper-for-Folding-Complex-Forms/ ?


#2

Yes - The simplest approach would be to make dotted or dashed lines and let the laser punch all the way through. Scoring is harder because you have to choose the power and speed very carefully so you only go partially through the paper.
