When laser cleaning bamboo, you'll want to treat it differently from typical hardwoods because its grass-like fibers make it more flexible and porous. This high absorption pulls in laser energy quickly, clearing contaminants without deep penetration. But watch out mid-process—its low heat spread can cause localized scorching if you push power too high. So start low and scan slowly to keep the structure intact.

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