Printing
WARNING: The following steps are critical. Make sure that you enter the correct information
otherwise the VersaLASER might not only adjust the Z‐axis and scale the graphic incorrectly, which can
ruin your material, but it can also damage itself if the moving parts of the X‐axis crash into the CORA.
Print as if you were etching a flat object. When the
VersaLASER Settings dialog box pops up, choose your
category and type of material as usual. In the Fixture
section, select CORA from the dropdown list and also
type in the diameter of the glass that you measured
earlier and click print. As usual, the print job will be
stored on your hard disk and become available in the
VCP as the next job ready to be processed.
For each glass that you would like to etch your graphic in a precise location, you must follow each of the
steps from the beginning of this section. If it does not matter to you if the etching begins anywhere
around the circumference of the glass, then simply load the next glass and run the job again without
having to make any marks or lining up the Red Dot.
Once you have practiced using the CORA, you will naturally come up with some shortcuts to save on
setup time.
Vector Cutting Accessory (VCA)
The Vector Cutting Accessory, with its honeycomb design, assists
with the vector cutting of materials by minimizing the surface
contact area of the backside of the material. This simple yet
functional design also provides a slight vacuum for sheet stock to
hold it flat while cutting, and it assists with smoke removal by
drawing it down and underneath the material.
