How Does Air Assist Help With Laser Cutting? SCULPFUN S9/S10 vs. XTOOL D1 PRO Tested (Review)

Are you wondering how air assist can help improve your laser cutting results? In this video, I will explain the basics of air assist and how it can benefit your laser engraving and laser cutting projects. I did a lot of laser cutting tests on very thick woods and acrylic at different speeds using three different laser engravers - the 20W xTool D1 Pro (basically a laser cutter), 10W Sculpfun S10 and 5W Sculpfun S9. I reviewed the air assists and did the tests with and without using an air assist to show you the difference an air assist can make when laser cutting thick wood and acrylic.
