LASER PARAMETERS:

Engraving (black): power 80%, speed 50%, 500 dpi, 2 passes, air assist on
Scoring (red): power 20%, speed 2%, 2000 Hz, 2 passes, air assist on, z-offset 2 mm
Cutting (blue): power 35%, speed 0.7%, 1000 Hz, air assist on
Cutting (green): power 66%, speed 1.8%, 1000 Hz, air assist on

TIP:

Using the z-offset defocuses the laser beam and the cut lines appear thicker than working in focus.

Step 3: Post-processing

As you can see in the graphic, we cut little holes with a diameter of 1 mm along the outer edges in two of the three designs. This allows you to quickly finish the purses. Just use a thicker, tear-resistant thread and start sewing (without having to punch the holes into the leather).

Cleaning:

Leather is a natural product what tends to burn during engraving or cutting, and it produces a particular smell. Furthermore, the cutting edges can turn dark and stain. Many types of leather can easily be cleaned. However, it is important to test the cleaning method at a discreet place. First off, try to remove the smoke residues with a dry cloth. should there still be residues, the leather can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with an alcohol-based cleaner.
