Fiber Laser Settings by Material
Every fiber and MOPA recipe in the Laser Data Library in one table: 46 starting values across metal, leather, coated and other materials. Each row opens the free LightBurn test grid bracketed around its own power and speed, so the first burn on your machine checks the number instead of trusting it.

Production guidance for Fiber Laser Settings by Material
These rows come from the same records as the Parameters Library and the settings-by-material tables. All of them are bundled baselines with no vouch or proof-burn photo, recorded on the source and model shown in each row. Wattage, lens, focus and the material finish change the result more than the table can, so treat a row as the centre of a test, not a production preset.
- 1. MOPA pulse width is the parameter doing the work here — if the result drifts, adjust pulse width before touching power or speed.
- 2. Bare metal is unforgiving of focus error: re-zero on the actual work surface rather than the bed, and wipe oils off before marking or the mark will read blotchy.
- 3. Veg-tan and chrome-tan react differently and both scorch easily. Keep air assist on, mask the surrounding area, and expect to drop power before you raise speed.
- 4. Coating thickness is the real variable. Apply evenly, let it cure fully, and re-test whenever you change spray batch or application method.
- 5. Change one value at a time. Burn the bracketed grid, pick the cleanest cell, then run a second, narrower grid around it before a customer part.
Source data reviewed 2026-08-09. The test grid link writes the row's power, speed, and any frequency, pulse width, hatch interval and pass count it records into the grid's Constant Values, then sweeps power from half to one and a half times the row's value across and speed the same way down. Burn it on matching scrap, keep the winning cell, and save it in the Parameters Library.
