Will the GF be capable of ACTUAL 3D engraving?

Here is @dan’s explination of z depth control. I’m also hoping they can get the greyscale function to work. That will make 3d engravings much easier.

Accurate pocketing?

The X/Y positional accuracy is 1,000 dpi. It’s hard to describe the z-axis in DPI, which is why we specify power levels, but the laser has z-axis power adjustment of 255 levels, times the number of positions of the lens (which escapes me now but is much more than four). In practice how these combine to achieve z-depth precision depends entirely on the material you’re using. You’ll get more depth precision out of delrin than tissue paper.
