Laser engraving and cutting machine - software help!

[hamleet]

Hy everyone,
I'm sory if this is posted in the wrong section of the forum but i don't have time for more search and i'm really desperate with a problem: i have a Laser Engraving and cutting machine that came with a very simple software to use it. This machine can cut through acrylic material with a maxim of 20mm thickness. The problem is that the software don't let me to cut more than 3 or 4 mm but the machine CAN CUT 20mm!!! Does anyone here have a better software for this kind of machine? Some links with this kind of softwares can help me too...please help me, i'm desperate .

Thank you and i'm sorry if this mesage is in the wrong place.

How thick of a material you can cut is a function of the power of your laser and how fast you move, what material you are cutting and it's reflecivity to a degree.

The software isn't going to turn your 4mm machine into a 2cm machine.

To do that you need to have more power, "softer" material, less reflecivity, slower feed, etc.

Far as I know software will not give you more watts unless you have some sort of software lock to enable some function or wattage range. Never heard of that on a laser engraver though.

Machine: ZTDQ 12090 Laser Engraving and Cutting Machine
Software: Laser Cut
Settings for cutting 2cm acrylic material:
SPEED - 1.0 (that is minimum)
POWER (for cutting) - 80 (that is maximum)
MIN-POWER - 50 (optional)

That is all you need to know to cut 2cm acrylic on this machine.
Ofcource - calibrating the laser mirrors is a great and loooong job to do
