Designed to Work With Your Laser

LightBurn talks directly to your laser, without the need for additional software.

We currently support most Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom, and GCode based controllers, as well as EZCad-based galvo fiber, CO2, and UV lasers using either EZCad2 or EZCad2-Lite boards.

Download the free trial and test it for yourself. If your laser is not supported, sometimes it only takes a day or two to make the required changes to support a new board in these existing families.
