Скачать или смотреть K40 Laser - Vector Engrave Test - 0.5mm lines & space

Working with Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.

I basically set up the file as 0.5mm tall rectangles, spaced 0.5mm apart, with solid fill of black & no border, combined as a Composite Path.

Then with the entire design area (300mm x 200mm) covered in these rectangles, I created what I wanted to engrave (in this case YUUSUF).

I then convert all the YUUSUF letters into vector paths & combine as Composite Path again.

After that, I used the YUUSUF composite path as a Clipping Mask on the background of rectangles, so only the intersecting areas of the YUUSUF letters are filled with the rectangles.

Save as Adobe Illustrator 9 format (for CorelLaser to allow import) & import into CorelLaser.

Use "Cut" setting in CorelLaser. This was done with 50mm/s @ 10mA.

As you can see, the mock-engrave happens a lot quicker than a raster engrave.

In future, I would consider positioning the rectangles closer to each other (e.g. 0.25mm spacing or 0.1mm spacing) as 0.5mm apart leaves too much "white space" on the engrave that is not desired for a full black engrave.
