## Testing to change the focus of the laser cutter
We tested the change the focus of the laser cutter. First we set the optimal focal point using a tool with the laser cutter.
We changed the foucus 1 mm above and below the optimal focal point, and also 4 mm above and below the optimal focal point.
We changed the focus 1 mm above and below the optimal focal point, and also 4 mm above and below the optimal focal point.
The results are shown in the Figure 1. We first used settings for MDF material but later we realized that the material was
actually HDF, and we changed the settings. As can be seen from Figure 1, the difference...

As shown in the schematic figure, when the focus is above the laser need to burn more material,
the energy is deposited to larger volume. This is probably the reason that the 4mm above did not cut.
## Testing the effect of laser cutting speed and power
We tested the effect of laser cutting speed and power on the cut. We set different values for different squares. The result
is shown in the following figure. We used RGB codes to control the speed and power.

We could see that for fastest cutting speed (S30) the laser was not able to cut through, even if the power was highest (P100).
Also, for the lowest power (P20) the laser was not able to cut through, even if the cutting speed was the slowest (S12).
Engravings and contast

Figure on engravings and contrast.
Raster settings were applied. Default power in the figure is 100, and default speed is 80.
Effect of Dots Per Inch (DPI) setting on laser engraving.
We tried to make engraving with different DPI settings. In a first attempt there was something wrong with the laser focus,

With more dots per inch, there is more energy deposited per line length, and for this reason the material is burned more with
higher DPI setting. The power was set to 100 and the speed was set to 18.
Parametric design
## Parametric design
Test cut without considering kerf. We cut several test pieces, ones with chamfer and ones without.
When kerf was not taken in to account, the connection was loose, and the pieces did not stick well to each other.

kerf based on the measurements we made first in the group work. In these cases the pieces were well attached. It was even
difficult to push the pieces together. The reason for this was that the material that we cut was thicker than the one we initially measured.
