Material Code
The Material Code box will automatically display a new material code number when making a new
material and category. You can add a custom Material Code from 9000-9999 if desired.
Taper
This drop down menu is activated when Print Mode is set to Rubber Stamp. This feature is similar to the one
in the Raster sub-tab for Rubber Stamping.
3D Power
This button can be activated by setting the Print Mode to 3D. This feature can be modied similarly to the
Raster sub-tab for 3D.
Vector Marking - Blue Pen
These settings are similar to the settings on the Raster Sub-Tab under the Manual Control Tab.
Vector Cutting - Red Pen
This section of the Material Editor window allows the user to input preliminary numbers for the Material
Editor to properly calculate future power and speed settings. To properly congure the Vector Cutting - Red
Pen section, you will need to vector cut two materials in the laser system so the Material Editor can calculate
the appropriate percentage amounts for dierent thicknesses.
If the material being added to the Material Editor can be vector-cut, check the empty box called “Material
Can Be Vector Cut” and input the percentages.
The Shallow Cut Settings and Deep Cut Settings sections are similar to one another. First measure two
identical material types, but with dierent thicknesses. For example, test a 1/8” piece of acrylic and a ½” of
acrylic. Input the thinnest material measurement in the Cut Depth box of the Shallow Cut Settings. Next,
type in the thickest material measurement in the Cut Depth box of the Deep Cut Settings section. The
Power and Speed in both settings refer to the least amount of percentage power required to cut through
the material without causing undesired results. You may have to experiment with this section several times
to get the exact results you desire.
Max Depth
The number input in this box refers to the maximum material thickness that the laser system is able to
cut.
PPI
Available settings are 1 to 1000. For further explanation about this setting, read the Manual Control
section of the User Guide.
Shallow Cut Settings
These parameters set the starting point for the Printer Driver’s Material Editor.
Deep Cut Settings
These parameters set the ending point for the Printer Driver’s Material Editor.
