2.1 Laser Software Introduction

The laser engraver supports the most popular program LaserGRBL and LightBurn.

NOTE:The laser engraver receives commands from the computer. It needs to stay connected to the computer, and do not shut the engraving program down (LaserGRBL or LightBurn),during the engraving process. Since the calculations are done on the computer, the performance of the computer will affect the speed and even the quality of the engraving.

The following section will focus on the installation and use of LaserGRBL. For LightBurn,installation and configuration process will be briefly explained. Their official websites have program operation tutorials, which are very helpful for beginners.
