you cannot buy it yet, and I doubt that it would work
for a Tete de Moine, but would probably be great for
Raclette slices.

THe article starts with:

   Lasers turn cheese into art
   3 December 2003

   A pulsed ultraviolet laser shows potential for cutting patterns in
   cheese.

   It seems that there's no end to the type of materials that scientists
   will consider cutting with a laser. Researchers from the
   [16]University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US astonished delegates at
   the recent [17]ICALEO show in Florida when they announced that they
   had machined cheese into intricate shapes with a Q-switched Nd:YAG.

Have fun,

Claudio
