LightBurn
LightBurn is layout, editing, and control software for your laser cutter. With LightBurn you can:
- Import artwork in a variety of common vector graphic and image formats
- Arrange, modify, or even create new vector shapes within the editor
- Apply settings like power, speed, number of passes, cut order, and much more
- Send the result directly to your laser cutter
Lightburn supports GCode controllers and also DSP Controllers. If you just need to run a Cohesion3D Board, you only need to get the GCode version ($60). If you have a machine with a DSP Controller, or multiple machines with both types of controllers, you should get the DSP + GCode version ($120).
The GCode version supports Smoothie, Grbl 1.1, and Grbl-LPC based controllers. The DSP version supports Ruida (6442G, 6442S, 6332G), LightObject R5-DSP, and Trocen Anywells AWC 708c Lite and 608 (Ethernet only, USB coming soon), in addition to GCode-based Smoothie and Grbl controllers.
