There are many ways to calibrate your laser machine and you should get it done before you start any project. When it comes to speed that is the measurement of how fast the laser nozzle moves around in various directions. The power is how strong the laser fires. It does not mean speed. There is most likely going to be a testing application that is given to you when you get your laser cutting machine.

Key Takeaways:

• To minimize the time the laser is cutting you should determine the speed and power.
• When you figure that out you should start to run a test file.
• After you see what is made, you can now optimize your settings to get the best out of the machine.

“Depending on if we are cutting or engraving, we’ll optimize in different ways”
