Users have to pay for a license if they want to use it on their own machine, but we have a discount code so members can purchase the software for $20 instead of $80.

They have a great support forum (which may look a bit familiar).

Easy to use interface (In real English!).

It also loads files much faster than LaserWeb.

Imports many file types: AI, PDF, SVG, DXF, PLT, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP.

Supports both of the controllers that we currently have.

Camera support so you can line up your design on your workpiece more easily and do other cool things.Move the head by clicking a point on the bed.Here is a quick summary of pros and cons for this software. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc. Overall I think this will be a very positive change for the usability of our laser cutters. If you have a file that never worked right in LaserWeb it would be a good test to see how well LightBurn handles it. So, if you want to jump on learning the new software let us know. In the long run, if LightBurn works out well we will probably want phase out the other 2 to avoid confusion. RDWorks and LaserWeb are both still installed, so you can keep using them as well. We need to do some more testing, and put together some instructions ( you love doing that, right?). It is fairly similar to RDWorks, much easier to use than LaserWeb, and can be used with either laser. I’ve tested it out a bit and quite like it so far. I’ve installed a new laser control program called LightBurn on both of the laser computers.

So, I know you all love it when I change the laser software, right?
