Laser Cutter

[ElPulido]

HI All,

Can anyone let me know the name of the software for the laser cutter and is it proprietary?

It's called light burn and you can download a trial version which is good for a few weeks that will allow you to do all your design at home and then import your files to create your pieces when onsite.

Kind regards

Lightburn can import SVG files.

I use Inkscape (which is free) to draw my SVGs. For each cutting path, for example, holes, engraving, outer perimeter etc, I create a separate layer.

Then when you import to Lightburn you can easily apply a cutting order to the layers and different laser parameters (if necessary, say for engraving).
