My own experiements with engraving thicker leather is that you can do some interesting layering with different depths on some 6-7 oz leather using various settings, but dealing with the char is an issue. Leather isn’t that dense so having a structure to engrave is a challenge. There hasn’t been much 3D work of anything, but what i have done on Corian and Plywood is interesting. When Glowforge pushes its 3D and low power engraving settings we will see. Otherwise here is one example of leather work. I can’t recall much else in the 3d and engraving area of leather. Most of the discussion has been around engraving material to do embossing and stamping of leather.
