Once you’ve chosen a design, it’s time to fine-tune your engraving parameters.
Step 5: Understanding Engraving Parameters
Laser engraving depends on precise control of speed, frequency, and pulse width.
Here’s what each setting does:
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
| Mode | Defines the engraving pattern (fill, line, etc.) |
| Speed | Controls how fast the laser moves — higher speed = faster job but lighter mark |
| Frequency | Adjusts pulse density for smoother fills |
| Pulse Width | Shorter for fine detail; longer for deeper engraving |
| Interval | Spacing between lines — smaller values create denser, smoother fills |
| Passes | Number of times the laser repeats over the same area |
| Continuous Mode | Keeps the laser on for uninterrupted marking |
| Material Library | Provides preset settings for various materials |
| Preview | Outlines the engraving area without firing the laser |
| Focus | Adjusts laser height for optimal sharpness |
| Start | Launches the engraving process |
Step 6: Your First Engraving – Text on Metal
Let’s walk through your first engraving using a metal card from the material pack.
-
Place the metal card on the workbench under the red alignment dot.
-
Click Focus in the software.
-
If it’s out of focus, use the Up/Down buttons to adjust, then focus again.
-
-
Click Text, then click on the canvas to place your text.
-
Apply Fill to turn it into a solid vector.
-
Confirm your lens selection matches the one installed on your machine.
-
Click Preview to check the placement.
-
Resize or reposition if needed, then preview again.
-
Enter the suggested engraving parameters from the Material Library.
