The laser cutter cuts through the material along the red lines. Organic and inflammable materials may get burned edges. | The laser cutter marks the material along the blue lines. Marking also can be described as cutting at a lower power-setting. | The laser cutter engraves the entire black / gray area. The engraving processes works line by line, similar to an inkjet printer. This mode also allows to process pictures (.JPEG) on your parts. |
