How It Works
The calculator estimates the depth of engraving based on the laser’s power, speed, and material type. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
- Input Laser Power: The percentage of maximum power the laser will operate at. Higher power generally increases engraving depth.
- Input Engraving Speed: The speed of the laser in millimeters per second. Slower speeds allow the laser to concentrate more energy on the material, increasing depth.
- Select Material Type: Different materials have unique depth factors that affect how deeply the laser penetrates. For example:
- Wood: Higher depth factor due to softness.(0.05)
- Plastic: Medium depth factor, depending on type.(0.03)
- Metal: Lower depth factor due to hardness.(0.01)
- Glass: Medium depth factor, with a focus on precision.(0.02)
- Calculation Formula: The depth is calculated as:
Depth = (Laser Power × Material Factor) ÷ Engraving Speed
The material factor is predefined for each type of material. - Result Display: After clicking “Calculate Depth,” the result is instantly displayed, showing the estimated depth of engraving in millimeters.
