How's LP5's Performance on metal? Can it cut metal?

LP5 can perform deep engraving, 3D grayscale embossing and even metal cutting. It can cut 1 mm brass, 1 mm stainless steel, 1 mm aluminum sheet and 1 mm titanium sheet.

What is the difference between LP5 and LP4?

LP5 -
Most efficient and powerful engraving on almost all materials: LP5 has both 20W Fiber and 20W Diode Laser with its super speed 10000mm/s, 120 mm x 160 mm (Basic)/160 mm x 300 mm (with the Slide Extension) engraving area.
20-watt brings enhanced engraving capabilities, enabling high-contrast markings, 3d grayscale embossing, and ultra-precise metal cutting. LP4 -
The LP4 features a dual laser system, combining the 450nm diode laser and 1064nm infrared laser. Up to 4000 mm/s speed, 160 mm x 120 mm (Basic)/160 mm x 300 mm (with the Slide Extension)engraving area.

What Software does LaserPecker LP5 use?

The LP5 features two laser sources, each with different pulse characteristics:

The 1064nm fiber laser is a pulsed wave laser with a pulse duration of 80-110ns.
The 450nm blue diode laser operates as a continuous wave laser, so it doesn't have a pulse duration.
