Five things to keep with each test

  1. Save the setup

    Keep the project file, machine, laser, material and finish together.

  2. Record the settings

    Include power, speed, passes and any other controls.

  3. Keep two unedited photos

    Photograph the full test grid, then the result up close.

  4. Describe the result

    Add the date and what you can see.

  5. Choose one next step

    Write what you need to check before the next run.

The card records what happened. It does not supply settings or guarantee the same result on another machine, material or batch.
