Speed: 5mm/s

The settings are only for reference, users need to find the best setting by testing.

After we design the file in CorelDraw, we send the file to laser software directly by clicking the laser plug-in. Then we input the best setting parameters and “Download” the file to the laser cutter.

Place the wood sheet on the machine working table, move the laser head to the right start position, adjust the focal distance, press “Origin” button to set the starting point, then press “Start” to run the job.

After the laser machine finish working, you can take out your FuhmaShuriken.
