SMART MATCH: Choose a manufacturer and the Machine / Model dropdown shows the machine/series profiles available for that brand. If a manufacturer only publishes wattage-class data, the dropdown shows that class instead of pretending we have an exact model. Pick Other / not listed anytime.

Machine details are optional. If you leave them blank, the Lab compares published settings instead of pretending one arbitrary machine is your best match.

These are starting points. Material, optics, focus, airflow, machine condition, and actual output can change the result. Always test on scrap.

Choose your material to begin.

The Lab starts with exact machine matches, then automatically broadens to laser type, wattage, thickness, and finally material + process. It tells you exactly what kind of match you are looking at.
