LightBurn

LightBurn is a feature-packed software solution that assists you into coming up with attractive projects for various laser cutters.

As soon as you run LightBurn, you are required to specify the device you want to work with, even if you are not yet ready to connect it to your PC - this way, you can make sure that whatever artwork you create is fully compatible with your laser cutter.

When you are ready to start working, you can choose the shapes you are interested in, add text messages, choose laser position or analyze the dimensions. Moreover, you can specify the type of welding or object combination you prefer - Boolean subtraction, addition or intersection of shapes.

A circular or grid array of selected objects can be generated, as well as adjustment of camera or moving of the elements. You can also choose the alignment or distribution styles you like best.

If you do not want to create a project from scratch, LightBurn offers you the possibility to import an existing document and work on it until you are satisfied with the outcome. The app supports both image and vector formats, such as BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and TGA, and AI, PDF, SC, DXF, HPGL, PLT, SVG and LBRN, respectively.

Similarly, you can export your design to AI, SVG or DXF, so you can import it in a different specialized third-party app and continue working.

A very useful feature of LightBurn is that it offers you a preview of all the operations your laser machine needs to make in order to accurately cut your newly generated design.

LightBurn is bound to help professionals save time when it comes to calibrating their laser cutters, but also when dealing with complex artwork.
