Raster Image A raster image, also known as a bitmap image, is a digital image format composed of a grid of pixels arranged in rows and columns, where each pixel contains color and intensity information. In laser engraving, raster images represent graphical designs, patterns, or text as a series of pixel data that can be engraved onto a material surface using a laser engraving system.
Raster images are commonly used for engraving photographs, complex graphics, and detailed artwork, as they provide high-resolution representations with smooth gradients and shading effects. Laser engraving software processes raster images by converting pixel data into laser engraving commands, controlling laser power and movement to reproduce the image on the workpiece surface. |
