    Amada software etching

    Just an update. The operator that ran the laser before me stopped by and showed me a fast easy way with sheet works, you define the part then add a text it will only work with areal-narrow font then close change the body name to ETCH and continue. Now in settings you have to change the etch...

    MDF wood on an AMADA FO3015 Laser??????

    I would just turn off the dust collector, there is a soot that builds up inside the collector, if a piece of wood comes off that is still on fire it can catch that soot, it is best to just turn it off and open all the doors and roof fans on.

    Amada software etching

    Thanks for the ideas. I know how to change the E-code in Dr.abe but it is very time consuming with multiple parts or same parts on different sheets. But the idea of using ap100 and saving it to data manager. But I have heard of the layer method and don't have a clue where to start.
