• Q: The controller doesn’t work. 

1. Restart the CNC software
2. Change the USB port
3. Whether the input method is switched to English.

• Q: Does the standard configuration include the three-in-one module, and is it included in the price?
  A: No, it only includes the CNC module. Additional modules such as laser and vibration pen can be purchased based on individual needs. 
  IMCNC Three-in-One Module
  

• Q: Can Laser or Impact Dot Peen modules be added to the engraving machine after purchase? 
  A: You can optionally purchase the 3W laser module or the vibration pen metal engraving module.
  

• Q: Is it necessary to reserve space for modules at the time of purchase?
  A: Not required.
  

Laser Module

• Q: Is a mini CNC engraver the same as a laser engraving machine?
  A: No, a mini CNC engraver and a laser engraving machine are not the same, the processing methods, advantages, and presented works are all different.

  P.S. Our mini CNC comes with a three-in-one module, which can be purchased as needed. IMCNC Three-in-One Module
  

• Q: What software is used for laser engraving?
  A:  All modules are using the IMCNC mini CNC control software.
  

• Q: Is a ventilation system required for laser engraving, and is it sold separately?
  A: The 3W laser module is a low-power engraving module, and the main machine of the equipment is equipped with a small exhaust fan.
  To maintain a good air environment, it is recommended to avoid using it in enclosed spaces.
  

• Q: What is the wattage of the laser for engraving?
  A: The IMCNC LASER module has a power of 3 watts, and it belongs to the category of diode lasers. The laser emits visible light in the blue spectrum.
  

• Q: Can the machine perform laser cutting?
  A: Suitable materials for cutting: paper, thick cardboard, foam.
  

• Q: Is it possible to engrave photos with the laser? 
  A: The Laser Module can be used with bitmap images to engrave photos. The principle involves controlling the degree of burning based on the strength of the laser beam, resulting in grayscale effects. The outcome may vary depending on the material and speed, and laser intensity settings can be referred to in the laser module's instruction manual.
  

• Q: Laser engraving can be done on what materials?
  A: Suitable materials for laser engraving: wood, cork, bamboo, leather, cardboard, foam, etc. (Metal materials are inherently not engraveable, but surface coatings can be engraved.)
  

• Q: What precautions should be taken before using laser engraving?
  Safety Guidelines:
  1. Always wear laser protective glasses when in use.
  2. Ensure proper ventilation when using laser engraving.
  3. During laser operation, personnel should be present and vigilant, keeping an eye on any potential burning objects.

Impact Dot Peen Module

• Q: Is it possible to engrave photos with the impact dot peen? 
  A: The Impact Dot Peen Module is suitable for use with vector graphics files, utilizing toolpaths for its operation. It cannot be used to engrave photos with bitmap image files.
  

• Q: impact dot peen can be done on what materials?
  A: Suitable Materials: Brass, bronze, gold, silver, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, various plastics.
  

• Q: What precautions should be taken before using impact dot peen?
  A: The Impact Dot Peen Module operates by continuously vibrating up and down, causing the stylus to leave marks on the surface of metal materials after impact. It is important to note that during the process of replacing the module, ensure the protective sleeve for the stylus is installed throughout, providing adequate protection for the toolhead.
