If you select a vector layer, you can adjust both cutting and engraving parameters for it

Orange means engraving and blue for cutting.

image

Engraving parameters

  1. Engrave mode

What can it do?

Engrave mode options are only available when you select a bitmap. There are three modes:

  1. SD  Muddier engraving but shorter engraving time.
  2. HD  Fine-carved but longer engraving time.
  3. 3D  Generates a 3D profile based on the gray level of a bitmap. The darker the color is, the deeper the engraving will be, producing a relief effect.

How to use it?

Select a bitmap image and choose the engraving mode you want in the style panel on the right.

image

  1. Engraving power

What can it do?

Power affects engraving quality. Higher power leads to deeper engravings, and lower power means shallower engravings.

How to use it?

Select a layer and drag the slider under Power on the right side. Alternatively, type in a value to specify the power.

image

  1. Engraving speed

What can it do?

Speed also affects engraving quality. Lower speed leaves deeper engravings, and higher speed shallower engravings.

Select a layer and drag the slider under the speed setting on the right side. Or, enter a value in the input box to define the speed.

image

  1. Of passes

What can it do?

Of passes determines how many times a selected layer will be engraved. Multiple passes can make deeper engravings but take more time.

How to use it?

Select a layer and enter a value in the parameters panel on the right to define the number of passes. For equipment safety, the maximum number of passes supported by the software is 10.

  1. Lines per cm

What can it do?

Lines Per CM is only applicable to bitmap images. This parameter defines how many horizontal passes are made in one centimeter. More lines per cm can result in a finer result, but it takes longer to complete the engraving. And fewer lines per cm helps save time.

How to use it?

Select a bitmap image and go to Advance Setting in the parameters panel. Then click Lines Per CM and select a value in the drop-down menu. Optionally, drag the slider to tune the parameter.

image

  1. Sharpness

image

Out power

What can it do?

Out power refers to the minimum duty cycle of laser emission. The laser isn’t emitted continuously but at intervals in a specific cycle. The fraction of time of laser emission during a cycle is duty cycle. When the duty cycle is lower than a certain value, the lasers fail to come out. Out Power allows you to set the minimum duty cycle to ensure the normal laser emission. After Laserbox operates for a long time, a certain level of power loss occurs. In this case, increase Out Power to offset the loss.

NOTE: Adjust Out Power only when the laser emission goes wrong.

How to use it?

Go to Menu > Settings > Preference, enter a value in the input box to adjust the minimum Out Power.
