Product Boundary & Safety Protocol
LayerRun Atlas operates purely as an offline conceptual reference for vector sequencing, layer logic, and workflow design without physical machine integration.
Independent Educational Framework & Machine Isolation
LayerRun Atlas functions strictly as an offline architectural reference, vector sequencing standard, and parameter educational catalog. It contains no hardware control bridge, produces no machine drivers, and does not establish direct connections with CNC or laser cutters.
LayerRun Atlas holds zero network, serial, USB, or wireless control interfaces.
Content serves as static workflow templates, visual layer logic, and baseline specs.
The machine operator retains full physical command, safety oversight, and parameter review.
Mandatory test matrix protocol required before executing any file on real stock.
Where Digital Planning Ends and Physical Execution Begins
Our documentation diagrams how vector data can be structured into sequential passes (Cut, Engrave, Vector Score, Air Assist trigger). However, digital designs never interact directly with cutting diodes, CO2 tubes, fiber heads, or gantry steppers.
- No Machine Firmware Interaction: Atlas does not generate G-code or interact with GRBL, DSP, or proprietary controllers.
- No Real-time Telemetry: Atlas does not read temperature sensors, chiller loops, limit switches, or interlocks.
- Strictly Reference Schematics: All speeds, powers, and layer sequences represent curated theoretical starting points.

Through-Cut Power & Toolpath Sequence
Atlas provides structural layer hierarchy advice (e.g., executing inner cut features before outer silhouette boundaries). Operators must independently calibrate focal height, speed, assist pressure, and bed clearance on their specific hardware.
[USER_ROLE]: Focal calibration, kerf compensation, fire check
Essential Workshop Guardrails
Always Supervise Laser Beam
Combustion and thermal runaway occur within seconds on organic materials like acrylics, birch plywood, and leather. Never operate equipment unattended, regardless of parameter fidelity.
Run Material Test Grids
Diode aging, tube temperature variance, and lens cleanliness create up to 30% performance drift. Always run an isolated power-speed test matrix on raw scrap before job execution.
praiseVerify Material Chemistry
Never process PVC, vinyl, PTFE, or materials containing chlorine or cyanide radicals. Toxic vapors corrode precision mirrors and pose immediate life hazards to technicians.
