Does anybody know if Lightburn is compatible with a Rayjet laser?

[Juliana (Juliana Tallis)]

Hello, just doing some research on laser machines. Does anybody know if Lightburn is compatible with a Rayjet laser?
Thanks in advance.

Rayjet is a Trotec product so:

Trotec Speedy 300

Thank you for the offer. Definitely send an email to us: support at lightburnsoftware dot com so we can reach back out to you when the time comes. You should also submit " Support Trotec Lasers" as a suggestion on our suggestion site so that other people can vote in support and we can gauge how much interest there is. The developer, Oz, is about to move across the country, so all development is going to slow down for a while. That said, happy to start the conversation in the above ways …

For a rayjet trotec use an other driver with less options then a ‘real’ trotec laser. I don’t know if the underlying control of the laser are the same.

Thank you for the replies, I’m hoping to find a compatible vector program that costs less than corel for now.

[Hank (Hank Morgan)]

Well, Inkscape costs less. That’s what I use.

[Juliana (Juliana Tallis)]

Thanks Hank, Inkscape would be ideal, are you using it with a rayjet/trotec?

[Hank (Hank Morgan)]

No. I use it with a generic Red & Black. But if you’re using it with LightBurn it shouldn’t matter what machine you have. Just import the SVG file from Inkscape into LB and you’re good.

If I’m not mistaken, RayJet / Trotec just use a printer driver to send jobs to the laser, do they not? If that’s the case, the choice of design software should be mostly irrelevant.

[Juliana (Juliana Tallis)]

They do, but I currently don’t actually need to design much. So I’ve been creating in lightburn and then going straight to laser
