[William Osman] decided to try two unorthodox approaches to the gingerbread construct; first, he opted to build a gingerbread mobile home. Secondly, he cut the pieces out with a laser cutter.

The idea is very simple, laminate a photograph onto some laser-cuttable board, and then run the laser over the outline of the pieces ... Once you’ve got the puzzle cut out, you can seal up ...

Laser cutting is ... the shapes that have to be cut out. This is called 'vector cutting'. The second colour should be used if you want to engrave sharp lines or outlines into the material.
