4.We are currently looking for a laser machine, how do we know which laser machine would be the most suitable for our needs?
Before buying a laser machine, you can first consult us about what you’re looking for like what materials you normally use, what is the design your working with including thickness for the application, the processing area you are working at. It is important to note that one machine cannot cover all the job you might want to do, it is then critical for our customer to have a machine that covers 80% of the job. Additionally, we may also need to go to the place where you want the machine to be delivered to check how we are able to deliver machine in the working space.
5.Which graphic software and file format do you use for your machines?
The software will be included in the purchase of the machine and we will give you the necessary training on how to use the software.
For Vector file, if your design is made using AutoCAD or any other design software, you would need to convert the file to dxf file format before importing into our laser machine software then you can start the laser process.
6.What is the recommended requirement for the computer that is to be used with your machines?
Windows 7/8/10 or Windows XP/Vista, GHz processor or faster, at least 4GB RAM, 256GB hard drive, dedicated graphics processor card, 2 USB interface.
The above is a recommended minimum requirement. Due to advancement in technology, hardware and software will improve in the future. Using a more powerful computer would also mean that graphics will be generated and displayed faster. Computing times and date transfer will also reduce greatly.

9.What is the use of your power of the machines and how do I deduce the power of the laser in a laser machine?
Depending on the different type of application, the power of the laser can help determine the suitable power for a specific application. The higher the wattage of laser machine would mean the laser machine is more powerful. Normally for laser marking materials such as aluminium or steel, it does not require a particular high wattage. However, for more tougher materials a higher wattage is advisable. Whatever your application, you can consult us regarding the materials that you are dealing with so that we can determine the laser machine that is right for you.
