Cork Worldmap

Hi everbody! this is my second project. I'm 17 years old and studiyng Industrial Product design. I my free time i make some cool stuff. I wanted to make a world map out of cork. So i went to the local market and bought cork. I made my design In CorelDRAW X7. this is a very easy project but you will get a very nice product!

First you need a picture of a worldmap. i didn't want a complicated worldmap because the laser cutter can't cut all the smart parts. so i decided to take a simple design. I imported this picture in coreldraw and made it into vectors. Then I cutted this document on cork and the negative of it into plexi glass. So the cork would fall into the plexi glass. (unfortunately the cork stil sticks out)

Here are my coreldraw document. the first one is the map on the plate. the second one are the parts together so i didn't need much cork.
