Parameter Relationships

Shows how changing one parameter physically affects others. Click any node to see its downstream impacts and role.

PowerRangeWavelengthSpotSizeRepetitionRateFluenceThresholdPulseWidthScanSpeedPassCountOverlapRatio

Power Range

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

Spot Size

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

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.

Bamboo Material Safety

Shows damage risk across parameter space. Green = safe, Red = damage danger.

Proactive strategies and reactive solutions for bamboo

🌡️thermal management

Heat accumulation

Impact: Excessive heat can damage substrate or alter material properties

Solutions:

  • Reduce repetition rate
  • Increase scan speed
  • Add cooling time between passes

Prevention: Monitor surface temperature and adjust parameters accordingly

🔍surface characteristics

Variable surface roughness

Impact: Inconsistent cleaning results across different surface textures

Solutions:

  • Adjust energy density based on surface condition
  • Use multiple passes with progressive settings
  • Pre-characterize surface before cleaning

Prevention: Standardize surface preparation procedures
