This is not something to blame on the software itself but rather on the limitations on M2 Nano controllers that usually come with these machines. Now, while being simple to use is great it also means that it is pretty basic and lacks many functionalities that some more advanced software’s like LightBurn and RDWorks have.

K40 Whisperer is a free open source program and it works on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It is created with Inkscape in mind so it supports Inkscape’s native *.svg format, but can also import files from other design software like Corel or Illustrator as long as you export them in *.svg or *.dxf file format. The idea is you create a vector drawing in specialized software, save it in a compatible file format, import it to Whisperer and then Whisperer sends it to the laser cutter. K40 Whisperer is created only as a laser controlling software so It has no design capabilities and it relies on dedicated design software (like Inkscape) for graphics creation. It simplifies the entire process and eliminates the need for a USB stick that was required with LaserDRW while supporting all the same controllers LaserDRW does and evens some that it doesn’t. It was designed to be used as a (much better) alternative to the LaserDRW software that ships with some of these cheap laser cutters. K40 Whisperer (created by Scorchworks) is laser controlling software most commonly used with legendary/notorious (depending on how you look at it) Chinese K40 laser cutters that come with M2 Nano controllers. K40 WhispererĬommonly used with – Inkscape K40 Whisperer is often used with Inkscape With that cleared, here is the list of most commonly used laser control software for laser cutting today.

Laser design softwareis used to create graphics that can later be cut on a laser cutter. They are often used in pairs but they are designed to do different things. But, before we get any further first we need to make a distinction between laser designing software and laser control software. For now, RDworks plugin do the job, because I’m able to instantly send everything from corel to RDworks in single click.Depending on the brand and the type of the controller in your machine there are several options regarding which software you can use.

I will continue to use LightBurn until trial period expires, and if I find some interesting proposals for new features, I will share my opinions here. I don’t know is it possible to make VBA plugin for LightBurn if LightBurn is not “prepared” for importing from third party applications? My question to developer is: Did you plan to add support for corel draw files?Īlso, it would be great to have plugins for most popular vector drawing applications, for easy importing to LightBurn without unnecessarily saving file locally and opening manually in LightBurn. dxf format because LightBurn has no native. That means that I need to save project in. However, drawing possibilities are good but when I need to do some complex projects I like to do it in Corel Draw or Illustrator. I have chinese laser cutter with RUIDA controller and I think that preview with all optimization possibilities put LightBurn as first choise as software for sending jobs to machine.

Few days ago I installed LightBurn and I must say that it is far more superior than RDworks.
