雷射染計劃旨在顯影工藝與程式藝術之間建立聯繫。通過利用可編程的DIY雷射投影機和最古老的照相工藝氰版顯影（New Cyanotype, Vandyke Brown），在織物上形成永久成像。由於省略了在原始氰版工藝步驟中使用負片作為成像遮罩的步驟，因此可以在縫製好的衣服或相對脆弱且略微不平坦的表面上產生大型且連續的圖案。
本項目獲得 Youfab 2015 國際競賽的入選作品，並在2018被選為Youfab歷年前50名作品。亦獲得了 Reshape 19 一等獎和 2020 年在 Altaroma 舉行的羅馬時裝週中的數位製造獎。 這是在另一個雷射染計劃「如果時間是可以穿戴且折疊的」中與服裝設計師陳翊羽的合作結果，陳翊羽設計了具方形特殊版型的服裝，將雷射染的光學特性實驗性的表現在具摺紙結構的紡織品上。

The Laser Dye Project merges alternative photography with digital fabrication by producing cyanotype (New Cyanotype and Vandyke Brown) images on sewn garments constructed from natural fibers or delicate and slightly uneven organic substrates through maskless laser exposure with a DIY programmable laser galvanometer system. The maskless development approach also broadens the potential to work with large exposure areas and enables the printing with multiple laser machines from different angles.
This project has won the selected work title of Youfab Global Award in 2015, and has been selected as the top 50 selected work of Youfab, top 10 selected works of Reshape 2019. It also won the first prize of Reshape 19 and a digital fabrication prize of Rome Fashion Week in Altaroma 2020, presentec by Fondazione Mondo Digitale. It was another laser dye project “If Time Was Wearable and Foldable”, collaborated with a fashion designer Yiyu Chen and photographer Bo-Lin Lo. Yiyu Chen designed the garment with a special pattern in square shape, to experiment with the optical property of laser dye which is able to print on textile with origami alike structure.
