Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Anodized Aluminum on the Sculpfun S10 Pro?
The top-rated community setting uses 2000 mm/min at 78% power. Removes anodising cleanly. No Cermark needed on anodised aluminium — the diode wavelength strips the layer efficiently. Great for dog tags, tumblers, and keyrings. Use a rotary attachment for cylindrical pieces.
Can the Sculpfun S10 Pro cut Anodized Aluminum?
A 10W 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 Sculpfun S10 Pro 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 Sculpfun S10 Pro?
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 Sculpfun S10 Pro?
Settings here use 300 DPI. For photographic detail or fine artwork, consider testing at higher DPI, but expect longer run times.
