Epilog Fusion 60W Materials Settings
This document lists settings for common materials for the large laser cutter.
| Material | Thickness | Raster (Speed/Power) | Vector (Speed/Power/Frequency) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | 1/8" | 90s 45p | 8s 100p 100f |
| 1/4" | 90s 45p | 2s 100p 100f | |
| 3/8" | 90s 45p | Use 1/8" settings multiple times | |
| 1/2" | 90s 45p | Use 1/8" settings multiple times | |
| Anodized Aluminum | 90s 35p | Do not cut | |
| Glass | 30s 100p | Do not cut | |
| Wood/ MDF | 1/8" | 60s 100p | 10s 100p 10f |
| 1/4" | 60s 100p | 3s 100p 10f | |
| 3/8" | 60s 100p | Use 1/8" settings multiple times | |
| 1/2" | 60s 100p | Use 1/8" settings multiple times | |
Optimizing laser cuts is an iterative process. Some basic guidelines for adjusting settings to optimize outcomes are:
- If the engraving is too dark, increase speed or decrease power.
- If the darkest shade on an engraving is too dark, lower the power by 10% first. Power setting controls the upper limit of darkness of the engraving.
- In all other cases, modulating the speed of the laser offers finer control of shading. Modulate in increments of 5%.
- For cutting very thick materials, use incremental cuts at settings for thinner materials to get through it more cleanly. Cutting through thick materials has greater risk of burning.
