I have a simple grey-scale image. I am running a 3d slice setting. I have two files running the same image, same settings, same fibre laser, same pc. Everything identical but I get very different results. One appears to scan at a lower speed and stronger setting than the other. But everything else is the same. I have check device settings, settings, quadruple check the layer setting.
I have looked at the simulations; the one what produces what looks like faster but less penetrating passes scans Left-to-right as one might expect. The one that produces slower but more penetrating passes is cutting in a circlar (well sort of octagonal pattern). I can find a setting would cause this. The former result I expect but the latter is the effect I am after.
A slightly clearer view of what appears to be the slower passes. I guess is appears slow and cuts deeper because it is doing lots of overlapping “circles”
