  2. Several key factors are needed for optimal results when working with a laser engraver and cutter. ·Laser Power - Higher laser power allows deeper engraving and cutting. Select adequate power for your materials. For example, wood may only need 10 W, while metal may need 30-40W. ·Focus - Proper focus is crucial, as an unfocused beam will produce poor-quality results. Before starting work, use the focus gauge and test materials to dial in the ideal focus height. ·Speed - Faster speed yields quality since the beam has less time to interact with the material. Slower speeds allow deeper engraving. Find the right balance for your needs.

  3. ·Air Assist - Using an air assist accessory blows away smoke/debris during cutting, which helps prevent lens contamination and potential fire hazards. It also improves edge quality. ·Exhaust - A fume extractor is highly recommended to remove smoke and fumes created during laser engraving/cutting. This improves air quality and helps prevent buildup of material inside the machine. ·Software Settings - Most laser software allows you to adjust settings like power, speed, pulses, etc. Tweaking these will let you refine the results. Test on scrap first. ·Material Properties - Materials react differently to lasers. Dark, thin, and matte materials generally work best. Know your material. ·Safety - Always wear protective eyewear when operating a laser. Be cautious of fire risks associated with flammable materials. Monitor the machine during operation.
