CO2 shop settings
CO2 Engraving Material Settings Library
Add or import your shop’s tested CO2 settings, filter by material and machine, and distinguish approved records from drafts. The library starts empty; it supplies no universal material presets or compatibility approval.
Content reviewed 2026-11-02. Verify the applicability of each source before using a value in a quote.
Input to record
Material/coating and batch, thickness or surface operation, machine/lens, speed and unit, power setting, fixed parameters, test evidence, reviewer, and status.
Output to carry forward
A searchable shop-record library with JSON export/import. Selected settings still require the matching machine and quality review before a quote.
Shop settings library
Create a record from an inspected test. Approval is your shop decision; importing a record does not validate it. Records stay in this page until exported and disappear on refresh. This worksheet JSON is not a LightBurn .clb file and is never sent to a controller.
No settings are supplied. Add your own tested record or import a worksheet JSON file.

Sources and scope
Content reviewed 2026-11-02. A documentation reference supports the stated method or data only; it does not approve settings on another machine.
- LightBurn 2.1 Material Library
Documents material/operation organization, Assign versus Link, library management, and separate libraries for multiple lasers. The browser worksheet here is a shop record, not a .clb importer or a preset source.
- LightBurn 2.1 Material Test
Documents the two tested grid parameters, fixed base settings, explicit speed units, and preset export. No source settings are supplied by these pages.

| Topic | Reference | Shop action | Source | Applicability | Confidence | Reviewed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material and operation | A LightBurn library entry uses Material Name, Thickness (or No Thickness / operation title), and Description. | Preserve material/coating, batch, exact thickness or surface operation, and the tested finish. | LightBurn 2.1 Material Library | Software library organization; material identity is shop supplied. | Documented workflow; settings require inspection. | 2026-11-02 |
| Device scope | LightBurn recommends a separate material library for each laser when using multiple lasers. | Keep the exact machine, lens, and test-record ID attached to each entry. | LightBurn 2.1 Material Library | Multiple-device libraries; settings are not portable by material name alone. | Documented workflow; device match required. | 2026-11-02 |
| Assign | Assign copies a library preset to the active layer. Subsequent edits do not synchronize with the saved entry. | Record the actual layer settings used in the completed test, not only the preset name. | LightBurn 2.1 Material Library | Assign operation in the cited software version. | Documented software behavior. | 2026-11-02 |
| Link | Link synchronizes a layer with the library entry; changing the entry can update a linked job. | Review linked settings and quality evidence when a saved entry changes. | LightBurn 2.1 Material Library | Linked layers and matching library entries. | Documented software behavior; release remains a shop decision. | 2026-11-02 |
Reference workflow
- Match the job, material, machine head, and quality requirement to a row.
- Confirm the source, review date, and confidence before copying the value into a quote worksheet.
- Use a measured result or current OEM record when the row is marked as required or unverified.
