CO2 validation record
CO2 Material Test Grid Log
Record both test-grid axes, the selected cell, exact units, inspection result, and approved use. Complete the worksheet below, then copy, print, or download the record for the next job.
Content reviewed 2026-11-02. Use the rows as a checklist or shop record; they do not replace a drawing, machine manual, or inspection requirement.
Source
Drawing, machine manual, supplier record, or timed shop test.
Applicability
Apply only to the stated material, process, and quality requirement.
Confidence
Shop validation is required before reuse in a quote.
Input to capture
Material identity, machine/lens, test axes, selected cell, all fixed settings, observed quality, and reviewer.
Output to carry forward
A source-linked CSV or printed record of the selected setting, its quality reason, review status, and re-test conditions.
Showing 5 of 5 rows
| Step | Record or check | Next action | Source / applicability | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identify setup | Record material, coating, thickness, batch, machine, lens, software version, and date. | Use the exact same identity when a setting is reused; unknown material needs identification first. | Attach the applicable drawing, machine, supplier, or shop record. | Requires shop validation |
| Label both axes | LightBurn Material Test varies the two selected Param settings; all other base settings apply to every box. | Record each axis name, minimum, maximum, count, and unit. A cell label alone is not a setting. | Attach the applicable drawing, machine, supplier, or shop record. | Requires shop validation |
| Confirm speed unit | Record mm/s, mm/min, or another explicit unit beside the speed value. | Check the source unit before entering speed. A mm/s value is 60 times the same number in mm/min. | Attach the applicable drawing, machine, supplier, or shop record. | Requires shop validation |
| Inspect selected cell | Record row/column, exact speed/power, interval, passes, focus, air assist, contrast/depth, residue, and repeat result. | Explain why the cell meets the drawing or agreed appearance requirement; log rejected results separately. | Attach the applicable drawing, machine, supplier, or shop record. | Requires shop validation |
| Review and save | Attach the test file or photo ID, reviewer, date, approval condition, and re-test trigger. | Export the completed record. Re-test after a material, lens, machine, or acceptance change. | Attach the applicable drawing, machine, supplier, or shop record. | Requires shop validation |
Test-grid worksheet
Enter your own records. These fields stay in this page until you copy or download them; refreshing clears the draft. Status is a manual shop decision and does not certify a setting.
Preserve mm/s versus mm/min explicitly.
Controller percent is not a measured optical wattage.

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 Test
Explains grid parameters, fixed base settings, speed units, and preset saving/export. It supports the test workflow, not any universal CO2 setting.
Use the result in the quote workflow
- Attach the record to the job or drawing revision.
- Keep the source and review date with the assumption.
- Escalate to the machine manual or quality owner when the result is outside the recorded boundary.
