The brains of laser cutters and CNC machines, G-code controllers, include settings covering speed, physical limits, directions and intensity (of a laser beam, or rotational speed of a spinning endmill). Even if you’ve bought a pre-made laser or CNC machine, you’re still likely to benefit from fine-tuning the settings for your materials or needs.

From there, you should be good to go back into light burn and do your thing. The best case scenario is that you can adjust the settings you need in a nice user interface, without learning manual configuration via a G-code sender. Checking the box actually sends settings to your controller in the background, user friendly right ? Some of the easy to use interface for laser control in Lightburn software An example is shown in the image below, from Lightburn software, where the Laser mode enable can be set by clicking a checkbox. So why don’t all machine settings just get shown in a nice user interface ? Well, there’s quite a few settings, and not all of them are relevant to each application and every user, so designers only make interfaces for the minimum.
