One of two basic techniques can be used for tool shadowing: First, is to completely cut out the outline and place a piece of contrasting colored foam on the back side. A heat gun or adhesive can be used to stick the two foam pieces together. The second method is to give the outline of the tool a fill and engrave away the shadow of the tool, like the zoomed in photo above.

The Simple Tool Foam Shadowing Process:

  1. Use a scanner/lightbox with a camera to import the tool image into your design software.
  2. Utilize the trace feature to create a vector outline of your tool.
  3. Send the cutting file to the laser with Kern’s easy to use Laser Printer Driver.
