Note: These engraving parameters are for reference, and the results may change deepening on the lens, power laser source brand, metal mixture, ETC.
These parameters have been tried with a fiber laser BCF 30W with a 10x10cm Opex lens. Also, These parameters can be applied to Raycus and JPT, but the BCF has a broader range of Frequency, which gives a better amplitude of effects.
We have used EZcad 2. But these parameters also apply to EZcad 3 and, in general, any laser control card from JCZ.
Speed, frequency, hatch, and line space, can remain the same, but you may change the power percent if you own a laser with more power or less power.
All this information does not represent the engraving time. The time varies depending on the design or pattern to engrave.
