With most substrate materials, there is an upper limit to how much you
can cut with a single pass of the laser at a given speed. This is because
the excess heat builds up in the area around the cut until it melts or
deforms the substrate. The solution is to cut the design using multiple
passes of the laser.
Each model of engraver will require unique settings for a given type of
substrate because of differences in cutting speed and laser power.
