Prepare a speed and power test grid

Use Material Test to prepare a grid of Fill samples. This guide ends in software preview.

Set up the sample grid

1. Open a blank project. Use Ctrl+K inside LaserStudio and search for Material Test.
2. Enter the sample rows and columns, cell size and gap, start coordinates, speed and power ranges, and one fill interval. Check the start-Y label when positioning the grid.
3. Preview the sample map and parameter table. Rows vary speed and columns vary power. The grid supports up to 49 samples within the project’s 64-layer limit.

Save a map of the test

1. Choose Add test to project. Each cell receives a Fill layer named with its sample number and settings.
2. Keep the sample map or the saved project for reference. The numbers in the preview table are reference labels and are excluded from engraved output.
3. Open Preview job and inspect the grid’s footprint, travel and layer order.
