Finding just the right settings for a laser cutter can be a time consuming guess and check process. Additionally, using a calibration technique, such as the one detailed here, adds more time to the process of getting parts cut. To ease this process here are the settings I use when cutting with a 60 watt Universal Laser Systems machine.
formica (add 0.003″ contour): Used to create smooth airfoil shapes. The laser file does not store the z height settings. You will need to turn on the z-axis and set a height of 0.025″.
