4.8 Tips and Tricks for Laser Cutting
Distance to the Surface of the Work piece
If you want to achieve very good results, when laser-cutting acrylic or wood, we recommend,
that the plate be attached at least some millimeters above the engraving table. By doing this
the smoke and the melting residuals underneath the plate can escape unhindered. A slight
moistening of the plate will reduce the area of heat influence. Generally the protection foil
should be removed, except when there is considerable development of fumes. During laser
cutting the Hz setting (pulses per second) should be set to low, in particular for flammable
materials.
Multiple cutting (insert logo)
Often a clearer contour can be achieved by cutting twice rather than cutting only once.
