What speed should I use to engrave Anodized Aluminum on the ACMER P2 33W?
The top-rated community setting uses 2800 mm/min at 70% power. Strips anodising cleanly in one fast pass. No coating needed. The 33W module handles anodised aluminium quickly — batch dog tags or branded accessories efficiently. Use the P2's array feature in LightBurn to fill the bed with items for each run.
Can the ACMER P2 33W cut Anodized Aluminum?
A 33W diode laser can mark or engrave metal surfaces but cannot cut through them — metal cutting requires a much higher-powered laser or a plasma cutter.
How many passes does the ACMER P2 33W need to engrave Anodized Aluminum?
All settings here use a single pass. Confirm focus and do a small test burn before committing to your final design.
Do I need air assist for Anodized Aluminum on the ACMER P2 33W?
Air assist is not flagged as required for these settings, but it is good practice during cutting operations to keep the lens clean and reduce char buildup.
What DPI should I use to engrave Anodized Aluminum on the ACMER P2 33W?
Settings here use 300 DPI. For photographic detail or fine artwork, consider testing at higher DPI, but expect longer run times.
