Lasercut provides functions to simulate the cutting process that is about to occur and estimate how long the cut will take. Once a.dxf file is drawn it can be imported into LaserCut.

These.dxf files are created in other CAD drawing packages, such as the free, cross platform, open source vector editing package Inkscape, or the school favourite 2D Design by Techsoft. LaserCut has some basic drawing functions but it becomes most useful when dxf files are imported into the software for upload to the laser cutter. It is used to prepare cutting files that are sent to the Leetro MPC6515 controller hardware inside your laser cutter. 1 An Introduction to Lasercut 5.3 Preparing the Artwork Version 0.1, December 8th 2015Ģ Precautions Introduction Importing from.dxf Setting up the layers Checking the Operations Tips, Mistakes and Problems Error with Engraving Scale options Immediate Mode Layers Turned Off Material Rule of Thumbģ Precautions WARNING!
