Laser Embossing with Snapmaker

Does anyone know if there is a way to laser EMBOSS on rock with the Snapmaker? By EMBOSS I mean to layer multiple layers with the laser to product a 3D image, kind of like CNCing with the laser. There is a competitor’s laser that has this built into the software and their laser is no more powerful than the Snapmaker.

It would help if you share some images how it should look like or what to achieve.

I used a grayscale heatmap and produced this using Lightburn;


About 100mm x 100mm x 19mm pine, can’t remember the settings on an A250T with 10W. My favorite bit is you can feel the scales on the koi. It’s a pain in the ass getting settings right, however. You need a galvo laser to do actual 3d slicing of the heatmap though, this was done in a single pass in grayscale.
