WHAT IS DPI FOR LASER MACHINING?

- EDIT the DPI Is per linear Inch not Square Inch.
DPI is one of those things that was somewhat confusing when I first got into laser machining. I understood what it was by definition, but didn't realize how many different effects it could create for my designs. This week I decided to take some time and talk about my experience with DPI and show some examples of testing that I have done.

What other videos would you like to see?
i tried searching through all the videos and didnt seen anything. have you ever tried the Norton Tile method where you take white tile paint it green then paint black then just laser off the first layer of black to show image underneathe??
Thank you so much!
So far, this video has made the most sense to me. My pictures kept coming out super grainy. I'll be changing some settings here in a few!
Best of luck!
Thank you for the video. Interesting perspective, I'll be doing some similar tests too.
Definitely test for yourself.

Thankyou!!! You have so much info!!
Glad I could help.
Hi..for cutting out a shape in wood or acrylic using a co2 laser how does the DPI setting affect the results..
DPI won’t affect a cut. The DPI is an engraving setting.
Hey Trevor, sorry for the offtopic question, but do you know if it is possible to send files to the fusion edge from a macbook? I know oficially they don’t support macOS but I was hopping you know a good workaround. Thanks and good luck with the channel, learned a lot so far.
If you have an older MacBook with parallels, you can run windows on parallels and do it that way.
@@MakerExperiment thanks for the reply. It’s an m1 macbook, i have win 11 arm running with parallels, but couldn’t install the epilog drivers. The supplier contacted epilog and I am waiting for their reply to know if it is supported for win 11 or not. It’s kinda strange that they don’t offer macOS drivers.
Hi friend as you in the beggining i dont have enogh money to buy an Epilog but what would recommend between Thunder laser and Aeon mira ? hope soon reply
I’d look at thunder laser. I know a few people with them that love them.
I have a 20w diode the laser point on spec is 0.08 don't that mean if I pass 318dpi I would get crossed over lines? So depending on the laser point you can't set just any high dpi and get same results as someone that has a very high quality laser right?
I honestly don’t know enough about the diode lasers to give you correct information on that one.
I’m about to buy an AP laser and interested in making. Wall art and signs.
Very cool. Best of luck
Thank u
You’re welcome.
Can you explain what you mean by color. How do you do color or is the just the color in your software
It was the color of my graphic in the software.
Try using shades of gray
75 dots per inch does NOT mean 75 dots per square inch. There would be 75^2 = 5625 or 75 dots per linear inch.
Yes. I made a mistake in the audio and didn’t catch it in the edit. That’s my mistake.
