As part of my business I laser engrave a lot of leather, most of the engraving is no more than 34mm in diameter. Different finished leather requires different speed and power settings, but most I run at 65% power and 400mm a second, any faster than this doesn’t make a difference as it’s such a small area. The time it takes to engrave an item 34mm in diameter is around a minute. This is on a Chinese 60w machine.
I was wondering what sort of time I would get running the same file on a machine such as a Trotec, would there be a significant time saving? I have heard this Austrian machine is much faster at engraving than a Chinese laser.
