1. Set the Marking Object and Marking Parameters

Draw a 10 x 10 mm square and set the parameters for the brightest beam during engraving.

We use the laser software EzCad2 for the demo.

Below are the recommended parameters for the Q-switch 50W laser as a reference.

2. Continuous Marking on the Material

Stainless steel is recommended because the bright light produced by the beam is easier to observe during engraving.
