How will lightburn burn this image?
LightBurn does provide several things to help with this but does not provide a single, specific tool to assist you with oversized jobs. You will need to have a way to register your workpiece and you will need to divide this project into multiple jobs. This procedure can be difficult to initially dial in as re-registering an existing job has its challenges. You might consider the integration of the LightBurn camera into your process to help as well. Laser manufactures offer these openings in the cabinetry and promote being able to work larger materials, but this is not as easy to pull off as the marketing would have us believe.
