Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 05—Effect of Engraving Interval on Engraving

In the previous tutorials, we and you analyzed several factors that affect engraving, namely power, speed, and air blowing. In this issue, we will bring you another factor that affects engraving- Engraving interval.
Item list:

Laser cutting machine: Thunder laser Nova 35 (80W)

Glued wood: 3mm

parameter settings:

Engraving speed: 500mm / s

Engraving power: 15%

Whether to blow: weak blow

Focal length: 6mm
Interval: how long the laser head scans the next line, in other words, the distance between the two lines.


From top to bottom, we can see that as the carving interval becomes smaller and smaller, the carving effect becomes deeper and deeper.
When we look closely at the sculptural details, we find that when the interval is set too large, the picture looks incomplete. This is because the details are too sculpted because the spacing is too large. When the interval is set too small, repeated engraving will cause the picture to be carved too deeply, or even destroy the picture details.
in conclusion
Therefore, we believe that the best results can only be achieved by setting the appropriate engraving interval.
