Passes
This allows the operator to assign how many times the laser will complete a full cycle. Adding passes creates
deeper cuts. Setting passes to “0” will disable the respective color layer.
Setting Pulse Rate
This allows you to set the pulse rate of the laser which is the number of emitted pulses per second. The pulse
rate ranges from 20000 to 80000. Lower pulse rates result in deeper engravings while higher pulse rates result
in shallower marks.
Wobble
Widens the beam path by running vectors along concentric circles.
Amplitude
Affects the diameter of the wobble. Bigger amplitude means a larger diameter wobble.
Spacing
Affects the spacing of the wobble. Higher values means the wobbles are spaced further apart.
Show All Parameters
This toggle switch displays or hides all possible vector tags as a series of color options. Often when performing
both vector cuts and raster engraving, it is a good idea to change the color of the vector cut to something other
than black. This will avoid the laser detecting the vector cut as part of the raster. We can outline (as opposed
to fill) parts of the pattern for a second design option. Engravings can be combined with vector cuts to create
a variety of outcomes. A simple example is to engrave an image, and then cut the image out with a vector
outline.
Setting Vector Speed
Speed settings determine how quickly the object will be engraved. Lowering speed allows you to create deeper
engravings, as it allows the laser beam to be in contact with the material for a longer period of time.
