Substrate matching is the first principle of laser engraving. The choice between 1064nm (Infrared) and 455nm (Blue) depends entirely on the material's atomic response to light.
Act I: The Bug
The "Ghost Zone" (Clear Substrates)
Quick Presets
Select Wavelength1064 nm
Photons Captured
38%
Photons Escaped
0%
The Transparency Window: For clear acrylic, the photons simply don't "see" the atoms. Whether you use Blue or IR, 95%+ of the energy passes straight through.
Act II: Master Matching
Finding the Resonance
Quick Presets
Select Wavelength1064 nm
Coupling
Excellent
Result
Precise Mark
Optimal Pairing:IR is the king of metals. It couples perfectly with the dense atomic structure of SS304.
