Light burn: useful even for 3D printing

This post is not a LightBurn question, but a praise to the developers.

Lightburn’s tracing function is the best among the programs I normally use. It’s not uncommon for me to open Lightburn just to trace an image and then export my plotter’s software or to CorelDraw.

Today, I was tasked to 3D print some cookie cutters using some clipart as reference. Lightburn’s tracing + offset function worked wonders. After a few minutes of tinkering, I was able to export a SVG to my 3D software, extrude a couple of faces and send it to the printer.

Even when my lasers are off, LightBurn proves to be a valuable asset on my shop.

Kudos to the LB team!
