Lightburn is a comprehensive software solution for laser engraving and cutting that is intended to provide users with complete operational and creative control over their laser systems. Initially designed for CO2 laser machines, it has expanded to accommodate a diverse array of diode and galvo lasers, rendering it one of the most adaptable instruments in the laser engraving sector.
The software enables the importation of vector files such as SVG, AI, and DXF, as well as image formats like PNG and BMP. Additionally, it provides a robust built-in editor that enables the creation, positioning, and modification of graphics. It encompasses real-time controls for raster images, including dithering modes, luminance, contrast, number of passes, and laser power.
LightBurn Software eliminates the necessity for intermediate software by directly communicating with a diverse array of laser controllers, such as Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom, and GCode-based systems (such as GRBL, Smoothieware, and Marlin). The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides a 30-day full-feature trial without any restrictions, allowing users to comprehensively evaluate the software prior to making a purchase.
Regardless of whether you are a professional utilizing high-end CO2 or Galvo systems or a hobbyist operating a small diode laser, Lightburn enhances the efficiency, precision, and creative freedom of your laser workflow.
