I think steganography would imply some message was hiding in plain sight in one share. However this is a classic example of a secret sharing scheme, having one share is provably useless. Except here it works in a nice visual way rather than e.g. the more traditional polynomials.

And generates .dxf files which you can give to a laser cutting service. I tried to make sure the dots weren't too close to avoid issues with cutting.
