The iKier laser engraving machine is compatible with common engraving software, including LaserGrbl (free, compatible with Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, Win 11) and LightBurn (paid - 30-day free trial, compatible with Mac OS, Linux, Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, Win 11). These software options offer efficient control and precise results for laser engraving with the iKier device.

The iKier laser engraving machine allows you to engrave a wide variety of materials, including metal, glass, ceramic, wood, opaque plastic, fabric, leather, and other laser-markable materials. Thanks to its versatile capabilities, this machine enables you to achieve detailed and precise engravings on various surfaces.

The speed and power settings for laser cutting and engraving can vary depending on the machine and the material being used. For example, a laser cutting machine for metal may require different settings than one for laser etching and engraving.

Laser engraving in wood also requires specific speed and power settings, which you should definitely consult in the user manual or manufacturer's guidelines for your laser machine. Following these guidelines will help you achieve optimal results and avoid damage to the machine or the material. Furthermore, you can determine the ideal speed and power settings for your specific application by conducting test runs with scrap or sample materials.

Yes, our metal laser cutting machine can engrave various metals, including stainless steel. You will achieve excellent results when marking metal after it has been coated or sprayed, as this affects the coating or oxide layer.

The effect is even better on stainless steel if it is painted black. Please note that this is a discoloration process and not traditional engraving.

Yes, setting up a laser engraving machine is easy, especially with entry-level and user-friendly models like the X12 and 24 PRO laser engraving machines. These machines come pre-assembled and require minimal installation. They feature a fully integrated design that eliminates complex assembly requirements. To begin your creative projects, all you need to do is install the laser module. The installation process is simple and straightforward, allowing you to start engraving quickly.

iKier places great emphasis on user-friendliness in the design of its devices and offers additional support in the form of manuals, user-friendly control panels and technical assistance.

Blue Laser: The blue diode laser is a popular choice for beginners. It can engrave/cut wood, leather, and paper, and etch paint, but is less effective on white paint, certain shades of blue, and clear acrylic. It has a wavelength of 455 nm. Infrared Laser: Infrared lasers have a wavelength of approximately 1064 nanometers and are well-suited for marking certain metals such as gold, silver, copper, etc. Infrared lasers can be added to blue laser machines by replacing modules (Atomstack R30 V2 laser module, Atomstack M4 marking laser machine).

Fiber lasers: Fiber lasers allow for high-speed marking of metals. Generally, the larger the working area of ​​a fiber laser, the higher the cost. Fiber lasers can be added to blue laser machines by exchanging modules (Atomstack MR20 laser module, IKIER 1064 nm laser module, IKIER K1 PRO 1064 nm).
