3. Set laser power (*Power settings vary for different engraving objects)
．Export file / Generate G-Code
"Laser Cutting Software Settings"
．Add graphics
Use the graphics tool to add a cutting shape
．Set engraving object size
．Set working path
1. "Next" > "Create Toolpath" / Select "Cut Thickness" in "Preset Configurations" (Cutting thickness in video example: 3mm)
．Export file / Generate G-Code
3. Laser Module Auto-Focus
Using the touchscreen of the Snapmaker A350T 3-in-1 3D Printer, select the engraving file from USB, then choose "Auto Mode". The machine will measure the material thickness and automatically focus.
*Auto-focus considerations
1. Material thickness must be < 50mm
2. Avoid using transparent, glossy, or mirrored materials that are highly reflective.
Secure the engraving material in the center of the platform. Confirm that the "focus red dot" appears on the object's surface. The machine will automatically detect the material thickness and display the result on the touchscreen immediately. Once the material thickness is confirmed, the system will automatically complete the focus.Before starting laser engraving, the machine will preview the engraving path with a blue light. Use the arrows on the touchscreen to adjust the blue light position until it meets your needs. 3 steps to set up:
1. Move the center point of the laser engraving
2. Set the engraving origin
3. Run border preview for the actual path
4. Laser Engraving and Cutting Test
To protect your eyes, avoid looking directly at the laser light during laser engraving. It is recommended to use specialized safety goggles to monitor the engraving process.
