Materials Setting Guide🧾 Materials Setting Guide

Welcome to our Materials Setting page. Here, you'll find recommended engraving and cutting parameters based on the type of material, laser source, and power output.

No matter which Carverall machine you use, settings depend only on your laser module — not the model of your machine. Simply identify your laser type (e.g., 455nm/Diode 5W / 10W, 1064nm/Infrared 1W, or Fiber 4W / 20W) and match it with the material you’re working with.

Use this guide as a starting point and fine-tune settings as needed based on material thickness, surface texture, and your desired result.

⚠️ Important: Always perform a small test before full engraving to ensure optimal results and avoid material damage.
