Step1: Design

I drew the cactus in procreate using a mono-line brush for thick strokes. Once the cactus was complete I used adobe Illustrator to image trace it. Then I put a circle around it for the border of the coaster and scaled it to be 4x4 coaster.

Once I uploaded it to XCS I used the easy set panel to set the parameters. The red layer is cut and the black layer is engrave. Then I loaded the wood into my P2 and used the cameras to align the design to the upper corner of the wood to use the material efficiently.
