  1. When using the Vacuum adsorption platform function, the honeycomb bed needs to be covered at least 95% to be the most effective. This concentrates the negative pressure under the workpiece and improves suction, allowing the material to stay flat and stable during engraving or cutting. Here are some options/ideas:

    Mask the unused area with tape
    Create your jig with pockets for your blanks
    Pattern of holds in a sacrificial board


3. Complete your project

4. If the Adsorption Platform function is no longer needed, please turn off the 'vacuum adsorption platform' function on the touch panel and remove the (auxiliary) material from the platform.
