: Once aligned and settings are checked, hit Start to begin the burn.
: Click the Frame button in the Laser window. This moves the laser head around the perimeter of your design so you can ensure your material is aligned correctly.
: For complex logos or designs, use the Import function to bring in SVG, DXF, or AI files. If importing from Adobe Illustrator, set the DPI to 72 to ensure the scale remains accurate. 3. Organize Layers and Settings
: Go to the settings and ensure the laser's bed size matches your machine's physical limits.
: Select an object and click a color at the bottom of the screen. Each color creates a new entry in the Cuts / Layers window. Cut vs. Engrave : Fill : This will engrave the interior of a shape.
: Double-click a layer to open the Cut Settings Editor . Here, you set the Speed and Power based on your material (e.g., wood, acrylic). Use a lower speed and higher power for cutting, and a higher speed with lower power for engraving. 4. Framing and Running the Job
