After speaking to a technition, I realised that cutting out the fine details with the laser cutter would be impossible and a fire risk! I therefore decided to turn the image into a negative, so that the letterpress texture could be rasterised leaving the raised print.
The printed laser cut letterforms worked well. The plywood grain is noticeable aiding the font.
I also experimented using the CNC Router, however the fine detail could not be achieved.
Other experiments are lino and photo-polyer etching.
