Does the wattage of a fiber laser affect the work area size in laser metal engraving?

Not really. Work area is more about beam delivery systems.
So for instance, a 20W or 100W fibre laser through a galvo head with 163mm lens will have the same 120x120mm marking area. If it's fibre delivered to a cutting head, the motion system determines the working area, be it 100W or 1kW. The power will affect processing speed
