Step 2: Prepare the Materials and Adjust the Processing Settings in JobControl®

Place your materials on the Honeycomb Cutting Table. Depending on your laser's work area, you may be able to process all of the workpieces in one job.

Cover the remaining work area with paper sheets to maximize the suction force your materials. This technique prevents the materials from moving out of place during laser processing.
