There are some things I did in AutoCAD and would like to do in Lightburn, and they may be there, I just haven’t found them yet (I realise Lightburn is not AutoCAD though). Maybe my experience with AutoCAD (for over 20 years) helps, but Lightburn is very easy to pick up. I had access to AutoCAD while teaching at school, but no longer have that, and since getting a license for Lightburn to drive my new laser (got one a few weeks ago), I’m learning what it can do. Even though some dealt with very early releases of Lightburn, they were still helpful in getting my head around how the program works. I kept stopping and starting the YouTube to have a go at what was being shown.

My thanks to the team at Lightburn for allowing me to embed their videos. This series has tutorials, hints and tips as well as the occasional speed comparisons between it and RDWorks.


Great set of resources and after I got home, I had the tutorial going on one monitor and Lighburn on another one. The Lightburn Software is probably the best generic laser cutting software available (I use it for almost all of my laser work). I spent the other afternoon watching some of them as I was away from home and had no laser to play with or computer with Lightburn installed. I would personally like to thank the people responsible for the information in the Lightburn YouTube videos.
