Super easy to use
Quick reply to all my queries
Lightburn were happy and quick in replying to a question not strictly related to a Lightburn issue.
Whenever I have contacted them they are ready to help.
Ridiculously worthless
The support, if you could even call it that, was ridiculous. After downloading 2.0 my machine became for the most part, worthless. I lost consirable power immediately. Their response, is your lens clean. I would have been better off asking a random passersby. I have been without my laser for a month now. I have had to stop taking orders, essentially closing my business. I really wish someone else would create similar software and stand behind it even when it fails.

This is the absolute best laser software on the market. As a software engineer, I have to say that this is so well written, and the support is exceptional. I highly recommend this for lasers that have Lightburn as a possible app that works with your laser. A+++
Lightburn is a necessary evil
Lightburn is a necessary evil. Ive been using is for nearly two years now. It needs to be used to operate the laser. It works well as a laser controller but completely sucks as a creative software base. I spent most of my time trying to deconflict error messages instead of creating the projects I need for customers. For very basic work, its ok, for any kind of creativity its horrible.
The email response from Lightburn was quick, and completely understood by Lightburn, excellent customer service.
I am an absolute beginner to laser engraving and Lightburn. I took an AutoCAD 1cyear course a few years ago, so I have basic knowledge.
I watched online video after video, but each video " assumed" the viewer had previous engraving experience.... and most were using earlier version of Lightburn.
I emailed Lightburn as to my " pickle" and quickly received a response outlining the solution to the problem I had problems with. But, thanks to the information from Lightburn I successfully moved passed the calibration problem I was experiencing, completed the alignment test and now ready for Trace, Speed and Feeds.
Would it be possible for Lightburn to consider a complete beginners step-by-step instruction book/ video for absolute beginners?
Anyway. Thank you to Lightburn's quick response and completely understanding my dilemma.

About Supporting New Control Boards
Via support email The communication hopes to quickly integrate our control board, so that the LightBurn Software can support this control board, but it has been very slow and has not made effective progress. I hope to better improve the development or technical support in this area. thanks

I am retired and Lightburn has really given alot of enjoyment. If you dream of a project, you can design, cut, or engrave it. Looking forward making more projects in the future. One project that is nice is a 3d Deer that is a beautiful work of art.

I was using a knock off version of LaserCad and my buddy told me to switch to LightBurn. Instantly my burns improved. I thought I had issues with my DIY co2 laser and had been having issues with flat spots in all my circles... It was the software. LOL. After weeks of swapping stepper drivers and motors and checking all my mechanical parts. LightBurn fixed my issues and I never looked back.

The customer care service helped me find a way : they sent me the old version and everything is OK
They should debug the new version soon
The best program for laser
Good day.!
LightBurn is undoubtedly the best software I have used for laser control and design. It is extremely user-friendly, with a clean and organized interface that allows even beginners to get started right away. At the same time, it offers advanced features for professional work, such as tools, importing files from many programs (Infinity, Inkscape, Image-r, etc.), as well as full control over engraving and cutting parameters.
One of the great advantages is that it combines everything they do in one program - from design to machine operation. The framework helps with precise positioning, power settings and speeds are applied with absolute precision, while updates show that the team continues to truly listen to users.
The quality-price ratio is excellent: with an affordable license you get professional tools, stability and support that are unmatched by other free or more complex programs.
It simplifies some tasks that in Coreldraw would take 10 moves for an application, for example (cutting letters)
in Linghtburn with one move you are done and directly for cutting
Overall, LightBurn is a tool that turns using a laser into a pleasant experience, combining simplicity, power and reliability. I highly recommend it to every hobbyist and professional.
And finally, it has the best customer service there is, to solve any questions about questions, which is essential to me for many jobs in the future.
I wish I could see this customer service that the Linghtburn program offers in other programs.
Thanks.!
