LightBurn is software for designing, editing and controlling laser cutting. The Lightburn program communicates directly with the laser without the use of additional software. Most Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom and GCode based controllers are currently supported. Supported GCode controllers include Grbl and Smoothieware, Grbl-LPC and Marlin. Supported Ruida controllers include RDC6442G / S, RDC6445G, RDC6332G, RDLC-320A and R5-DSP. Supported Trocen controllers include AWC708C, AWC608 and TL-3120. Other controllers will be added over time to support if your device is not listed. If your controller is based on GCode or Ruida or Trocen or TopWisdom, it will most likely be supported even if its name is not in the list.
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 (including AI, PDF, SVG, DXF, PLT, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP)
- Arrange, edit, and even create new vector shapes within the editor, with powerful features like offsetting, boolean operations, welding, and node editing
- Apply settings like power, speed, number of passes, cut order, brightness & contrast, dithering mode, and much more
- Send the result directly to your laser cutter
Designed to Work With Your Laser
LightBurn talks directly to your laser, without the use of additional software.
We currently support most Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom, and GCode based controllers. Supported GCode controllers,include Grbl, Smoothieware, Grbl-LPC, and Marlin. Supported Ruida controllers include the RDC6442G/S, RDC6445G, RDC6332G, RDLC-320A, and R5-DSP. Supported Trocen controllers include the AWC708C, AWC608, and TL-3120. More controllers will be added soon, so if you don’t see yours listed, send us a message – maybe we’re already working on it!
If your controller is GCode, Ruida, Trocen, or TopWisdom based, even if it’s not listed it might be supported already – Download the free trial and try it for yourself. If it doesn’t work, sometimes it only takes a day or two to make the required changes to support a new board in these existing families.
Please note that LightBurn does not support the stock M2-Nano board in the popular K40 laser. This board does not offer control of power through software – we recommend upgrading the board to take full advantage of LightBurn.
