Taking Care of your Laser Machine in the winter
The global temperature has gone down obviously int he past few weeks. If the ambient temperature is too low, it may result in water to freeze inside of the CO2 glass laser Tubes & water chillers and causes them to break. So we have to take more precautions, and in this article, we have three solutions to avoid any damages. Here are the three solutions:
Focal Lenses 50mm/2-inch vs 75mm/3 inch
Even though Laser machines are versatile and can work on a wide variety of materials and surfaces, sometimes the extra help of a different lens can make a difference between a “good enough job” and an amazing job. There are several types of lenses with similar results in some materials but we will only compare the 2” FL (Focal Length) also known as 50mm vs. the 3” FL (Focal Length) also known as a 75mm.

Designing Software for Laser Machines: CorelDraw
Nowadays most laser systems have some basic designing tools built-in, these tools allow you to do some basic drawing and designing but if you plan to modify a file or design from scratch you will need designing software like CorelDraw, Illustrator, AutoCAD, etc. These are only 3 among many others but we will talk about CorelDraw because it seems to be, for some reason, the most compatible with the laser systems.
Cutting with Air assist
The Airflow will create different effects on the material being cut some of them may be desired while some may be unwanted so let examine what are those effects and how to cause/prevent them on acrylic, paper, and wood.
