Engraving on stone requires the right laser settings. Getting the perfect results hinges on them. Here’s a detailed breakdown to guide you:
Power: Determine the energy delivered to the stone surface. For a 50W laser, set the power between 70% to 90%. For a 60W laser, set the power between 60% to 80%.
Speed: For a 50W laser, use a speed between 100 mm/s to 200 mm/s. For a 60W laser, set the speed between 150 mm/s to 250 mm/s.
Frequency: Set the frequency between 500 Hz to 1000 Hz. Higher frequencies can produce finer details but may also result in more material being removed.
DPI (Dots Per Inch): Tailor the resolution to your design’s intricacy. Working with software like LightBurn allows for precise control over DPI settings, enabling users to render fine details clearly.
Focus: Adjust the laser’s focal length to ensure sharp and clear engraving. An autofocus feature can make finding the right focal distance as easy as pressing a button, saving time and effort.
