Hardware
This be our excellent water cooled, 60W CO2 laser etching machine with 36" x 48" work area.
Software
Software that came with the machine is LaserCut 5.3 for USB. There is a hardware key that is required to operate the software.
File Formats Supported
- DXF (AutoCAD Drawing) -- Inkscape apparently works OK in this format; SolidWorks works, too.
- AI (Adobe Illustrator) -- Save in an older pre-CS Illustrator format with no extra features for best compatibility
- BMP (Raster Bitmap) -- Image will need to be converted to a usable path within the software.
Maintenance
TBD
Reference
Manuals
- Hardware Manual (not specifically for our machine, but close enough) PDF
- LaserCut 5.1 Software Manual PDF
- Software Addendum for Rotary Attachment PDF
