Parameter Relationships

WavelengthSpotSizeEnergyDensityPulseWidthScanSpeedPassCountOverlapRatioLaserPowerLaserPowerAlternativeFrequency

Spot Size

Directly affects Scan Speed and Energy Density. Increase this to amplify downstream effects.

Energy Density

Smaller spots concentrate energy into a smaller area.

Scan Speed

A bigger spot lets you scan faster while keeping good coverage.
