Metal laser engravers use a high-powered fiber or MOPA laser beam that is focused onto the metal surface. The intense heat from the laser causes the metal's surface to vaporize, creating deep, permanent engravings or precise cuts. The fiber laser system uses a solid-state design, which allows for highly efficient energy transfer and enables the engraving or cutting of a variety of metals. The result is a precise and high-quality finish that won't fade over time.

Use vector-based software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW to create or import your design. For metal, it’s important to optimize your design for laser engraving or cutting by adjusting the size and resolution.
Clean the metal surface to ensure there is no dirt, oil, or debris. This helps achieve a smooth, clean engraving. Secure the metal on the laser bed to prevent shifting during the process.
Adjust settings for the type of metal being worked on, including power, speed, and frequency. Once set up, initiate the engraving or cutting process, allowing the laser to bring your design to life with precision.
After the engraving or cutting is complete, remove the metal from the bed and clean it. For intricate designs, ensure that no residue remains to preserve the quality of the engraving.

Since November 2022 I don't use the machine for my work, but for my videos on YouTube. I have done many trials and tests to find the different cutting parameters and performance and now I have perfect knowledge of what I can and want to get from my machine.
