Sculpfun S6 Pro — Anodized Aluminum

What speed should I use to engrave Anodized Aluminum on the Sculpfun S6 Pro?

The top-rated community setting uses 1500 mm/min at 85% power. Removes anodising at 85%. At 6W it's slower than higher-power machines but the result is the same — bare aluminium revealed cleanly. No coating needed. Good for occasional dog tags and keyrings, but not fast enough for high-volume tumbler production.

Can the Sculpfun S6 Pro cut Anodized Aluminum?

A 6W 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 S6 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 S6 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 S6 Pro?

Settings here use 254 DPI. For photographic detail or fine artwork, consider testing at higher DPI, but expect longer run times.
