Use Laser Engraving

Manage laser materials (sheets, blanks, consumables), machines, costs to make, and jobs with area-based usage.

4 min read 6 steps

Step by step

  1. Open Laser Engraving to manage laser materials, machines, and costs to make.

  2. Configure machine profiles for the laser type you run — CO₂, fiber, diode, or UV — so each job is organized and costed under the right tool.

  3. Add sheets with usable width/height so area-based usage and per-square-inch cost are correct.

  4. Create a laser cost to make with material usage, design setup, labor, and machine time.

  5. Plan and confirm a laser job to deduct material once; reverse restores material if a job fails.

  6. Material transactions and history reflect receiving stock, confirmed physical use on a build, and authorized reversals — not job planning or drafts. Inventory still changes only when you confirm a physical build, exactly once.

What happens next

Engraved items are finished and costed. Sell them or invoice the customer.
