Download Laser Files
Ingrid Abriola
I haven't seen a community-focused website for this so I made my own using thingiverse/printables/cults as inspiration. You can upload free or premium files, post remixes or makes of other people's designs, etc. There's not a lot of content yet because it's brand new but I'm hoping it will become a place with a ton of cool stuff in the future.
Does anyone have a clue on how to use Luban for getting or creating files for Laser cutting/etching?! Every file format I bring in from Illustrator comes in as one layer/object with no ability to change line properties. How the hell do you use it if you have no control over anything?
How do I get files from LightBurn to the 2.0? what format do I use? Is there a format available in LightBurn that is not available in something like Illustrator? what format is 2.0 looking for? I have not seen much in that area.
For cutting you need to use an .svg.
For engraving you can use svg, png, jpg, jpeg, bmp or dxf.
Create your artwork as layers in Illustrator or Inkscape or any other vector program.
Then you can just export whatever layers/elements you want to have different settings for as separate files.
Export paths you want to cut as svg.
Export whatever you want to engrave as any of the above formats (I prefer png)
These softwares pretty much expect SVG, .AI, or some other vector file format. Lightburn supports .dxf files, which might be a good option for you since SolidWorks will write dxf files. Luban is supposed to also support dxf files but there have been bugs.
I just know there should be a way for the cad program to kind of create the path or define it for a laser software. The tech seems to be more focused on the image creation as opposed to line production.
As a follow up uninstalling, cleaning the register on my computer, and re-installing let me save and open files on my computer, but when I tried to open both the old and new files on the computer in laser and I got the same issue. I was able to import the .AI file and run the laser just not save and reopen it.
One thing about the new version to note is that there is no option to frame or start cutting from the software. Those buttons have been removed from the program. You need to use the Download option to send the file to the laser. Then you can select your file and use Frame to check your job before running it.
This is a known issue for RDworks, and has no fix. For that reason, @team_laser is encouraging users to begin using Lightburn. It is much more stable, and has better features. In either case, one should always keep a copy of the design before it was imported into the laser software.

Designing for laser cutting seemed really complicated to me when I started, and now I make my own designs easily. Since it seems really intimidating at first, I thought I'd make a few tutorials about how to design your own files. In this instructable, I'll show you one of the simplest methods for creating your own designs for laser cutting. It's based on a concept borrow from physics (and math) called 'cylindrical symmetry', which is kind of what it sounds like. In a few moments you'll see what I mean.
That's it! We're done with the design: we have the outer faces and a skeleton to hold everything together, and all the parts have grooves in them for jointing. Export your design as a DXF or SVG files for laser cutting. To do that, select a surface you want to export, right click, and press 'Export as DXF'. In different software you may need to do something else, but in any case, it'll be similar: pick a surface and export it.
Once you exported one copy of each part, import them into LightBurn (or whatever software you use for your laser), make copies of all the parts you need to cut, and set the kerf offset (if you don't know what that is, google it ASAP! it's important :).
I made a bunch of vases of different sizes and shapes this way (files below!). I also made some lamp shades and a table lamp (here's an instructable about the table lamp - files included there to avoid duplicates).
Hi just thought I would let you know, the laser cutters said it is defiantly opening in mm and that when I sent them the one in inches it made no difference. They have even tried opening it in Solidworks and that was the same.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the capability of removing the filling materials or broken files from root canals with pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation at three parameters, and to evaluate the temperature rises on root surfaces and morphological changes of root canal walls in vitro.
Materials and methods: Thirty-six extracted human incisors were divided into two groups of 18 each. Eighteen root canals were shaped and obturated with gutta-percha and root canal sealer. In another 18 specimens, 3-mm long fractures of files were performed intentionally during root canal preparation. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation was performed repeatedly at three parameters of 1, 2, and 3 W to remove the filling materials or file fragments. Temperature rises on root surfaces during laser irradiation were measured by thermography, and the remaining of obturated materials and morphological changes of root canal walls were evaluated by stereoscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
Results: In more than 70% of the teeth, the obturated materials were completely removed by laser, and in more than 55% of the teeth, the broken files were successfully removed. Temperature rises ranging from 17 degrees C to 27 degrees C were measured from 6 to 11 repeated times.
Conclusion: These results demonstrated that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation has the capability of removing the obturated materials in root canals and is useful for removing the broken files in same if the counter-measure reducing the temperature rise is performed.
I recorded a rosbag containing laser scans and while trying to play it back and visualize the output in rviz I get the following warning: Detected jump back in time of 1.0252e-05s. Clearing TF buffer.
The scans are being visualized in rviz, but every now and then there is a flicker in the screen and the scans go away and then come back. This is surely not how it's normally supposed to behave. (Additionally, when I feed the rosbag laser scans and other sensor data to a SLAM algorithm, it doesn't work. While in fact, the rosbag was recorded the first time with said algorithm, rtabmap).
Industrial laser or waterjet cutters normally need CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to drive them. Geometry from the design software (Rhino) is transferred to the CAM software, which in turn translates it into a language (G-Code) that the cutting machine can understand. Large industrial laser/waterjet cutter examples include:
Working with industrial laser and waterjet cutters require exporting a transfer file with the 2D geometry to be cut, as these machines do not work like printers and virtually none will accept native Rhino files. They may also require the geometry from Rhino to be converted to lines and arcs before exporting. This depends on the age and sophistication of the machine/software used.
The most commonly used export format in industry is an AutoCAD DXF. Others include AutoCAD native DWG and Adobe Illustrator (AI, EPS). PDF files containing vector info are also becoming quite commonly used. All the above formats except PDF can be natively exported by Rhino. To export PDF files from Rhino, it is necessary to print to a PDF printer program. (Many are available.)
You are NOT permitted to use this file as follows:
*No mass production of finished product or wood kits for the large manufacturing commercial industry.
*Modify the design in any way, such as rearrange or removing parts of the design to claim them as your own.
*Re-Sell the digital file, or any parts of the file, nor share with friends, or give the file away to others through emails, storage devices or file sharing programs. This would encompass social media platforms (ie Facebook, IG, Pinterest, Twitter, etc), file groups, online forums, any other sharing methods, and friends or family.
*At no time are you allowed to use items made from my digital files as props in your listing/marketing photos to sell your own SVG designs.
