  1. 7. A protective layer applied to the material to prevent burn marks or to create cleaner edges during engraving.
  2. 9. This is the process of creating a visible mark on a material without removing any of its top layer. This is often done by using oxidation or color change.
  3. 10. This is the process of marking or etching a design onto a material by removing some of its top layer.
  4. 12. This is a laser that is usually used for marking metals and some plastics. This is also usually an expensive type of laser.
  5. 13. This is a device that is used to generate a concentrated beam of light, which is used in engraving or cutting different materials. I currently own a Longer Ray 5 20 Watt Laser engraver.
  6. 15. This is the engraving method that follows paths along vectors. This method is usually used for cutting or outlining certain designs.
  7. 16. this is the process of using a laser to slice through a material completely. Many people are starting to use lasers in their hobbies as a means of creating more precise cuts.
  8. 17. Think of this as the path that the laser will follow during the engraving or cutting process.
  9. 20. The proportion of the laser’s full power used during engraving or cutting.
  10. 21. This is a lower-power laser often used for smaller engravings, mainly for hobbyists or small businesses. I currently own one of these type of lasers.
  11. 22. The material being engraved or cut (e.g., wood, metal, acrylic).

  1. 1. The process of removing material through evaporation or vaporization with the laser.
  2. 2. This is the power output of the laser, measured in watts. This affects the material thickness and types of material it can engrave or cut. I own a 20 watt laser that is mainly suitable for cutting and engraving certain types of wood and plastics.
  3. 3. The speed at which the laser head moves while engraving, usually measured in millimeters per second (mm/s).
  4. 4. The diameter of the laser beam, affecting the resolution and accuracy of the engraving.
  5. 5. This engraving term is the method where a laser engraver moves in a left-right motion (like a regular printer). This is done to engrave a graphic or image.
  6. 6. This is the number of laser pulses per second. It is important for marking metals and fine detail work.
  7. 8. How deeply the laser engraves into the material.
  8. 11. This is the type of programming language that is used to control CNC machines, including laser engravers.
  9. 14. This is a type of gas laser commonly used in engraving, suitable for organic materials like wood, leather, and acrylic.
  10. 18. The part of the laser engraving machine that focuses the laser beam to a fine point for precision cutting or engraving. Some lasers are within 0.003 to 0.007 inches according to xxxxx while some can be smaller than 0.001 inches according to jtvmfg.com
  11. 19. The width of material removed by the laser during cutting, important for fitting pieces together.
