Preparing For Laser Cutting Display

Today I've been playing on Illustrator preparing the file for the laser cutter ready for when my plastic sheets arrive for cutting out my display. I'm having body torso shapes cut out of the plastic. I've made an example piece out of foam board and then scanned it into the computer to use the image as template to follow. I'm thinking of having the gap between the waist and the arms etched but am worried if it's not deep enough then it won't show. I've made two versions of the file, the second one has an additional etch of my logo and name. I think it would be nice to keep my branding on all my work.
