Identify materials
What can it do?
Laserbox features a high-definition camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens. It automatically recognizes
Makeblock materials based on ring codes, making necessary settings adjustments, including focus,
speed and power, to ensure a best cut or engraving. No more manual focus or parameters setting. No
more hassle over running tests on the chosen materials.
NOTE
DO NOT pile up several materials; otherwise, it may cause damage to the laser head.
DO NOT stick ring codes to any of non-Makeblock materials. Laserbox relies on the ring codes to identify
materials and make settings adjustments. These adjustments only apply to Makeblock materials so Laserbox
could fail to give you what you expect if you're using a non-Makeblock material.
How to use it?
1. Place materials.
Open the lid. Place a Makeblock material in the working area. Ensure the ring code side faces up.

2. Auto recognition
Close the lid. Laserbox automatically recognizes the material, and sets up the parameters accordingly.
Auto measure
What can it do?
Laserbox features a high-definition camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens enabling it to automatically
measure the thickness of the material. Based on the measurements, Laserbox automatically adjusts the
focus before it starts laser cutting or engraving. No manual measurement or manual focus is required.
You can save much trouble.
