#INKSCAPE ENGRAVE AND CUT SOFTWARE#
It seems complex but after playing with a few basic small samples you get it quickly. LaserGRBL is one of the best Windows software for image Laser Engraving. Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator are commonly used to create designs, but other CAD. the last option returns to the relative zero after engraving or cutting so you start again from the same starting point or coordinates. Precision cutting and engraving are also possible with a laser cutter. Fill colors are not interpreted as vectors only the stroke colors for objects are converted to vector cut/engrave paths. It's very easy to use but if you prefer you can use other programs like laser web or lightburn which has combined integrated cut and engrave (see )Īlternatively you can create the raster engraving gcode file first (keep the canvas set to one size when you move to cutting) followed by cutting gcode file, both need to use homing or relative zero option (manually position the laser head). The trace bitmap feature in Inkscape is located in the menu bar under Path-Trace Bitmap. to bend text in a simple circular way so you can engrave text on a curve. Its recommended to set the laser parameters as follows: When finished, generate G-code, send it to the machine and start cutting.

Now we can import the SVG files into Snapmaker Luban and move on to the laser-cutting part. Yes you can align the cut and engraving via layers in Inkscape in combination with the homing option set so both are aligned. I tool an old svg from Inkscape and brought it into Lightburn for cutting. Export SVG files that are readable to Snapmaker Luban software.

Using the same File in Inkscape with the Plugin streamed to the Laser, the Result does not match (Cutting to Engraving).Īlso I am not very familiar with Inkscape, I would rather love to use a Cad Software or Illustrator, but what is the best procedure to get Designs of the Software Applications rastered / Cut on the K40. Quote from mariokrupik on February 1, 2018, 4:58 amĪs a Newbie to a Laser Cutter, I would love to see a (Video)-Tutorial with supplied Demo Files, where we are able to reproduce the Examples shown in the Tutorial.Ĭurrently I am having troubles with aligning the Output from Engraving to Cutting. By using a laser engraving and cutting machine, you can not only engrave or cut materials based on 2D designs, such as pictures, patterns, logos, and silhouettes, but you can also create 3D objects, such as gift boxes, 3D puzzles, and lampshades.
