The iKier Laser Engraving Machine is compatible with popular engraving software, including LaserGrbl (Free, compatible with Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, Win 11) and LightBurn (Paid-30 Day Free Trial, compatible with Mac OS, Linux, Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, Win 11). These software options provide efficient control and precise results for laser engraving with the iKier machine.

The iKier Laser Engraving Machine is capable of engraving on a wide range of materials, including metal, glass, ceramic, wood, plastic (opaque), cloth, leather, and other laser-burnable materials. With its versatile capabilities, you can achieve detailed and precise engravings on various surfaces using this machine.

Speed and power settings for laser cutting and engraving can vary depending on the specific machine and material being used. For example, a metal cutter laser machine, metal laser cutting machine, or laser metal cutting machine may require different settings compared to laser etching and engraving. When it comes to laser engraving in wood, specific speed and power settings will also apply.

It's important to consult the user manual or guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your laser machine for recommended speed and power settings. These guidelines can help ensure optimal results and prevent damage to the machine or material. Additionally, conducting test runs on scrap or sample materials can help determine the ideal speed and power settings for your specific application.

Yes, our metal laser cutting machine is capable of engraving on various metals, including stainless steel. You can achieve excellent results by marking on metal after plating or spraying, which acts on the coating or oxide layer. For stainless steel, the effect is even better when the stainless steel is painted black. Please note that it's a discoloration process, not traditional engraving.

Yes, setting up a laser engraving machine is designed to be easy, particularly with beginner-friendly and user-friendly models like the X12 and 24 PRO laser engraving machines. These machines come pre-assembled, requiring minimal installation. They feature a fully integrated design, eliminating complex assembly demands. To start your creative projects, you simply need to install the laser module. The installation process is straightforward and hassle-free, allowing you to begin engraving quickly. AtomStack prioritizes user-friendliness in machine design, and additional support is available through instruction manuals, user-friendly control panels, and technical assistance.

Blue laser:The blue diode laser is a popular choice for beginners. It can engrave/cut wood, leather, paper, etch paint, but is less effective onwhite paint, certainblues, and clear acrylics. It has a 455nm wave length.

Infrared laser:Infrared lasers have a wavelength of around 1064 nanometers and are well suited to marking on certain types of metals such as gold, silver, copper, etc. Infrared lasers can be added to Blue laser machines by changing modules.(Atomstack R30 V2 laser module, Atomstack M4 marking laser machine)

Fiber laser:Fiber lasers are effective at marking metals at high speeds. As a rule, the larger the working area on a fiber laser, the greater the cost. Fiber lasers can be added to Blue laser machines by changing modules.(Atomstack MR20 laser module,IKIER 1064 nm laser module,IKIER K1 PRO 1064 nm)
