Laser Cutting Technical Help
As a general rule, the thicker the material you are using, the higher
the need for adjustments to your laser. It is important to use a slower
cutting speed with thicker materials to eliminate the risk of smoke
residue and melting.
It is recommended that the clear protective masking be left in place
when vector cutting. The masking protects the plastic from excessive
burning. If wrinkles or bubbles in the masking are present, it is
important that the masking be smoothed or removed before cutting. Gases
trapped under the masking can damage your work.
Experience shows that the most effective method for vector cutting is to
cut from the back to the front. This requires the on-screen image to be
flipped in order for the cut piece to be right reading and to place the
material in the laser bed face down. It also requires cutting directly
on the laser bed, not on a honeycomb insert. (When the laser hits the
edges of the honeycomb cells, it bounces back causing a pitting that
will ruin the surface of the material it is in contact with.) Whenever
it is convenient, leave the factory masking on the front surface and if
good results are still not being achieved, try spraying the bed with
water to absorb heat before laying the material face down with the
masking on. If two passes still prove necessary, adjust the first
setting so the cut travels nearly all the way through the substrate. The
second cut, the one affecting the face of the material, should be
adjusted to a much cooler setting, just enough to cut through the
remaining substrate and cap.
