For different materials, the parameters and methods of laser engraving machine are also different. So, how to adjust these in order to achieve the desired effect? Following is the main ways as your reference:
1. Advice for hardwood and solid wood engraving:
When carving on hard wood, cover the surface of the wood, which will reduce the residue that penetrate into the engraving area, and easy cleaning.
Engrave from bottom to top. We can change the working mode of the laser head in the software RDwork; engraving from bottom to top, rather than the usual carving from top to bottom, thus we can reduce the amount of fumes and debris drawn into the engraving area during the movement of the laser head.
2. If glass can be engraved with this machine? And is there any skills?
As we know, not all glass with the flat surface.
For engraving glass we give you some suggestions as following:
Using a lower resolution, about 300DPI it can get better results;
Change the black color in the graphic to 80%, which will improve the engraving quality.
We found that laying a piece of wet tissue on the glass during the engraving can helps to dissipate heat and improve engraving quality, but first make sure that the paper is not wrinkled.
Coating a thin layer of soap on the engraving area with your finger or tissue before engraving also helps dissipate heat;
Use ScotchBrite or similar materials to polish the engraved area to remove glass shards.
