Laurence Grayson from ShortFormVideo with this two-part After Effects tutorial on how to create a laser etching text into a piece of metal. This uses the standard After Effects toolset, always a great thing so everyone can try! The full project file is available from here.

“Here’s part one of this two-part tute showing you how to use After Effects to create a laser burning text into metal. Uses only the standard toolset in AE, but you will need CS4 or CS5 (CS3 doesn’t have the ‘convert to masks’ option).”
