Print and Cut Calibration

Feature Overview

Use this calibration when your Print and Cut result is shifted, or the cutting position doesn't match the original design. 

Step 1

Update the software, Beam Studio, to 2.7.1 or later.

Step 2

In Document Settings, set the "Start Position" to "Origin".

Step 3

First, perform basic camera calibration for your machine model, then follow the steps to complete the process. (Machines >> Machine Name >> Calibrate Camera)

Step 4

After camera calibration, select Print and Cut Calibration.
(Machines >> Machine Name >> Calibration >> Calibrate Print and Cut)

Step 5

Follow the software steps to export and save the PDF scale file for calibration.

Print this file and make sure to print the sheet at "100% scale" or "Actual Size".

Step 6

Place the printed sheet in the center of the machine's work area and use tape to secure it to the honeycomb.

Perform focus on the sheet.

Step 7

Take a photo using the camera preview and adjust the brightness to ensure the 4 black dots are visible.

Step 8

Go back to the software and continue the process.

Set the power to 3~5%. 3% is suggested for the first time. Raise it if the laser does not fire at 3%.

Demonstration.

Step 9

Check the result.
For the example in the video above, find the longest line and note its value.

The X-axis line is around "0.9", and the Y-axis line is also around "0.5".
The values are less than 1, so the software may auto-add up to 1.

Enter the values, then click "Save". The calibration will be finished.
