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.

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. Again, we will instruct the

laser using our vector properties In this design, the blue lines will not be cut through on our material, but

instead will be marked, as the red outline still cuts.

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. In this case the laser will raster in the black fill and

cut the red line.
