Vector And Raster; Tips - GCC Technologies LaserPro X252RX User Manual

Below is an example of how to prep an area (in this case, we will use a section of text) for vector cutting.
CorelDraw will be used as the selected graphics software.
1) With the text function, create a string of characters and select those characters by clicking on the text.
2) Change the text fill color of the selected characters to white by left clicking on the white color from the
CorelDraw Color Palette (located on the right hand side of the screen).
3) Change the outline color of the selected characters outline by right clicking on the desired color from the
CorelDraw Color Palette.
4) Change the selected characters outline thickness to the thinnest width by right clicking on the selected
text select <Properties>
Click on "OK" to apply the changes.
5) Now your string of characters has been properly designated as an area to be vector cut. Simply "print"
your job (output the file to the X252RX & X380RX) and watch as your string of characters is vector cut.

6.3 Vector and Raster

In some cases, you will want to process both raster engraving and vector cutting tasks within a single
project. For example, if you wanted to engrave a design onto a particular material and then cut a
particular shape around that engraving. The picture below is an example of engraving on a piece of
leather which has then been cut out: The picture below is an example of an engraving on a piece of
cork, which has then been cut out with a square shape:
In these situations when there are raster engraving and vector cutting operations on a single project,
the LaserPro driver will interpret between raster sections and vector sections by the types of lines and
line widths of your design. Areas of your design with line widths set between 0.001" (0.025 mm),
0.004" (0.1 mm) will be designated for vector cutting, and the other areas will be designated for raster
engraving.
6.4 3D Tips
3D Mode is one of the functions of LaserPro laser engraver. Instead of traditional two dimensional graphic
processing, 3D Mode allows the naked eyes to visualize the curvatures of the 3D effect by applying 200 power
levels technology to create different depth of engraving. Although it is easy to produce 3D samples with LaserPro
Engraver, production of the 3D graphic can be a hassle for our users.
Principle for 3D production by laser
Click on the <Outline> tab and change the Width to its thinnest dimension.
