- Import of SVG, DXF, HPGL, CSV, Gerber
- Possible modification of the graphic during the import:
- Resize to given dimension (SVG)
- Offset origin to 0;0
- Sort paths by shortest distance
- Clipping and tiling of the graphic
- Hatch fill of closed paths
- Pen up/down can be implemented as:
- Z-axis
- RC-Servo (using spindle PWM)
- Laser (Spindle on/off)
- Or define individual commands
- Possible modification of the generated GCode:
- Offset, Mirroring, Rotation, Scaling
- Sorting and delete of code blocks

Mar 29, 2021 Laser GRBL is a robust piece of software that lets you make the most of your DIY Laser Engraver by customizing items with a prime marking. The clean interface can be used by beginner and advanced users alike and most of the space is dedicated to showing the preview images that will be engrave. 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. Jul 07, 2020 GRBL is an useful open source software that helps in effective control of CNC machines. A GRBL CNC controller can function effectively when you connect GRBL with Arduino. Due to its use with Arduino, it is easy to set up G-code since the input and output point offers easy control. Tested and verified g-codes for laser cutting/laser engraving. GRBL controller. GRBL control software Easy software to test your machine. Most machines support GRBL. Can try to move your laser and turn on / off. Inkscape (latest version) InkScape Very useful software to make, convert images into a vector and then g-code. Use our plugins for that.
