Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms [1]

Continuous Mode Continuous mode, also known as vector mode, is a laser engraving operation where the laser beam follows continuous paths to create precise lines, curves, and shapes on the engraving surface. In continuous mode, the laser beam moves smoothly and continuously along predefined vector paths, tracing the outlines and contours of the design with high precision. This mode is commonly used for cutting through materials, engraving fine details, and creating intricate shapes with smooth edges.

Continuous mode offers exceptional control over engraving depth and resolution, making it ideal for producing detailed artwork, intricate patterns, and precision-cut parts in various industries such as signage, jewelry making, and industrial manufacturing. Laser engraving systems equipped with continuous mode capabilities provide versatility and flexibility for a wide range of engraving applications, from prototyping to mass production.
