Step by step

Step 1

Design

Begin by importing the template and adapting it to your requirements. You cna easily swap our pictures for your own or customer images, then print the design directly onto the MDF with a UV printer. 

With "Create job" move the design to the "Prepare" screen. 

Step 2

Laser cutting

Place the job to the desired position and adapt the settings. Activate the Vision functionality by clicking the Print&Cut symbol. Regmarks will automatically be detected and the effect "Print&Cut" will be added to the parameter. Choose your desired compensation method and send the job to the "Queue" for Laser cutting.

Depending on your laser machine and the laser power available, the laser parameters may differ. It is worth noting that the printing process used can also impact the laser parameters. 

Tip: Apply application tape to reduce the traces of smoke from the print. Leave out the registration marks, so that the camera system can "read" them.
