Cover Story: Laser engraving is a widely adopted technique for bamboo, yet no standard roughness parameter exists for evaluating surface texture. This study systematically analyzes conventional 2D roughness parameters—commonly used for metals—to assess bamboo surfaces engraved with a pulsed laser (450 nm; 5.5 W) under varying speed and power settings. Using calibrated equipment, we identified the most suitable parameters for accurately characterizing the engraved texture. Unlike previous studies limited by specific materials or laser conditions, we propose two robust 2D parameters—particularly Rz—as reliable indicators of engraving quality across diverse materials and laser setups, enabling consistent, single-measurement evaluations. View this paper
