Many people buy fiber laser marking machines to print patterns, but they don't know that there are actually two types of images: vector images and bitmap images. Bitmaps are actually common images that can be opened on our phones and computers at will. Vector graphics require specialized software to be created. Common vector graphics software include Adobe Illustrator corel draw、inkscape、Xara Xtreme。 Let's take a look at the tutorial together.

Fiber laser marking machine for pattern printing (bitmap): The format of bitmap is jpg, png, gif, etc. We open the laser marking machine software, click on the file in the upper left corner of the software, and then enter the bitmap file. You can also use the shortcut key CTRL+W to import our bitmap. Modify the size we need in the object properties of the software, check the fixed DPI (the larger the value, the clearer it is, we recommend 400), then check the dot point, check the grayscale, check the dot mode, and change it to 0.3. Then click on the application. On the right side of the software, the speed has been changed to 800 and the power has been changed to 80. (Of course, the setting methods for different materials may vary and need to be tested multiple times)

Fiber laser marking machine for pattern (vector image): Suitable formats generally include CDR, AI, WMF, EPS formats, etc. We still open the laser marking machine software, click on the file in the upper left corner of the software, and then enter the bitmap file, or use the shortcut key CTRL+B. Then we can change the image size normally, and then adjust the appropriate marking speed and power.

The difference between fiber laser marking machine for bitmap and vector drawing: bitmap marking is slow and not clear enough, while vector drawing is fast and very clear. We recommend using vector drawing for marking.

the tutorial for fiber laser marking machine can import vector and bitmap images, and after adjusting the power speed, we can print the images we want.
