Step 1) with this project it starts with basic shapes, most of these shapes are made within XCS software, adding to the circle are semi circles and half moons. Along with these parts text was added and the curved feature is used to display the text in a curved fashion.

Step 2) In this step the middle graphic is added, with this graphic a little trick is done to make sure the text in this image is not engraved but everything around it is. This is done by highlighting everything and with the combine feature the subtract at overlap is selected. This allows all the pieces to become one solid graphic.

in this step the project is sent to the laser machine
