Laser engrave fabric?
It turns out you can laser engrave fabric. Who knew!
That opens up possibilities...
Also a laser engrave could easily cut out Pepakura files in paper, plastic or wood.
That too opens up a lot of possibilities....
I think I will be taking a close look at a laser engraver.
They even have a sign up list to notify you when a pre-owned unit is up for sale.

So picture a dark red velvit Fes with a embossed patter of cocktail glasses in the fabric, embroidered with a "drinky tiki" or such.
Ideally the engraver would hold a standard width of cloth, length would be a issues. But if the pattern allowed it to be done in sections it might be doable.
Reference:
"How wide is a bolt of fabric?"
"There are about 3 common widths for bolts of fabric: 36",44-45" and 54". Most apparel fabrics, calico, quilting fabric, etc. will be 44-45" wide (and folded in half on the bolt), most home decor fabrics are 54" (usually on rolls). 36" is less common, though you can find muslin, interfacing, and some more utilitarian fabrics in 36" widths. The width of each fabric should be labeled on the end of the bolt, along with the fiber, the care directions and how many yards were on the full bolt before cutting, the name of the fabric design & manufacturer."
Hmm, the largest (and far to expensive) machine is 24" x 36".... so no bolt widths. It would have to be on cut panels.
Heh, on the plus side it could cut the patterns out too.
