▪ Plastic ejection can be improved by choosing surface finish accordingly

▪ Anti-scratch properties are also depending on engraving strategy choices

Control and Possibilities

Control over machining process:

• Laser power

• Speed of laser along tool path

• Frequency of shots

• Pulse width → matter reaction to laser

• Burst (on femto)

• Energy density

• Tool path definition

• Bitmap texture

• Blasting finishing (laser version of sandblasting)
