- Metals: Anodized aluminum, stainless steel
- Non-metals: Acrylic, leather
This versatile tool enables the creation of personalized gifts, decorative items, functional tools, and complex artworks. Imagine laser-engraving cherished memories on wooden photo frames, etching signatures on leather wallets, or crafting unique acrylic light signs – all become achievable projects.
To maximize the Snapmaker 10W Laser Module's capabilities, the Snapmaker Luban software serves as an integrated solution. This powerful yet user-friendly platform combines model design, parameter configuration, and G-code generation into a streamlined workflow.
Luban provides preset parameters for various materials, allowing users to immediately begin engraving or cutting projects. Advanced users can fine-tune these settings to achieve optimal results for specific applications.
For those experimenting with unverified materials, Luban's material testing function proves invaluable. This systematic evaluation process helps determine optimal parameter combinations while conserving materials and deepening understanding of laser processing principles.
When operating the Snapmaker 10W Laser Module, strict adherence to safety measures is paramount:
- Always use the dedicated protective enclosure (Class 4 laser product requirement)
- Wear provided laser safety glasses (required for operators and observers)
- Properly set the work origin point before operations
- Conduct test runs and parameter adjustments for material-specific optimization
The following Luban software recommendations serve as starting points for various materials. Actual parameters may require adjustment based on material thickness, density, and color characteristics. Always conduct preliminary tests before full-scale processing.
