Laser Engraving and Cutting - 03 How to Laser Engrave and Cut
You can congure the same or different toolpaths for different images, patterns, or text. You can
also congure multiple toolpaths for one image, pattern, or text. If a toolpath for engraving overlaps
with a toolpath for cutting, we recommend that you prioritize the toolpath for engraving to avoid
undermining engraving quality in case the materials become less stable after being cut.
If you do not create a toolpath for an image, a pattern, or text, then they will not be engraved or cut.
(7) Preview the toolpaths and generate a G-code le. The G-code le can be loaded to Workspace or exported to
your computer.
3.7 Four Modes to Process the File

can use only the Vector mode for laser cutting.
