Information
This A5-format test sheet is designed for quick material testing, easy organization in a DIN A5 binder, and efficient reference.
It helps you determine the best parameters for engraving and cutting different materials.
✅ Works well for many materials: tested with wood, paper, and black acrylic.
❌ Colored acrylic didn’t work in this setup.
It’s especially useful if you want to:
Check how to achieve deeper engravings
Compare whether your laser performance has changed over time using the same parameters
