Question 1

What files do laser cutters read?

Accepted Answer

Laser cutters, like most CNC machines, read G-code, which describes toolpath positions and speeds. Users typically don't submit G-code directly; instead, they provide design files that operators convert into G-code. DXF files are common for representing 2D shapes in vector format, preserving distances and layers. On Atomm, creators often provide XCS files that use up to three colors to indicate cuts, scores, and engravings.

This collaborative environment is perfect for discovering new ideas and enhancing your projects. Nearly every design can be used for laser cutting. Simply import the files into XCS, set the appropriate parameters, and you're ready to create stunning laser-cut parts.

Question 5

Can I Use the Same Laser File on Different Laser Cutter Machines?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are no restrictions on laser engraving files for specific machine. Laser files are universal; however, the parameters may vary between different machines. You can import the files into XCS and adjust the settings to fit the parameters of your machine before proceeding with the cutting.

Question 6

Can I Use the Same Laser File on Different Laser Cutting Materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can import the files into XCS and adjust the settings to fit the parameters of your materials before proceeding with the cutting.

Question 7

How can I get the correct laser engraving settings?

Accepted Answer

Many laser files shared by Atomm users include machine parameters that you can use directly. If you can't find parameters that match your laser cutter or materials, you can start with a test grid to see the engraving effects of different settings. Based on the desired outcome, you can then determine the appropriate parameters. Alternatively, you can use the EasySet feature to get recommended parameters.

Question 8
