Power Range

Amplifies damage risk in Pulse Width and Energy Density. Keep low to maintain safety margins.

Spot Size

Same power in a smaller spot creates much higher energy density.

Energy Density

Higher power delivers more energy per pulse, removing more material.

Pulse Width

More power means higher peak intensity. Too much can damage the material.

Pass Count

Using more passes means you can use lower power and still get the job done.
