Setting Up Lightburn on Your Own Computer 

 When building projects in Lightburn on your own computer, you do not need to have the profiles installed for the Rabbit laser cutters (the profiles are installed on the workstations connected to the laser cutters - importing your project into Lightburn there should ensure that they will be properly sent to the laser cutters). 

  It is useful to set the bed size in your copy of Lightburn to 900mm x 1200 mm to make sure that you don't create a project too big for the laser cutter.

Lightburn Software Guide
LightBurn is layout, editing, and control software for the large format lasers:

 LightBurn is only available on the desktops dedicated for use with the lasers.  

 LightBurn is capable of handling all stages of a laser project, from art design through to running the job on the laser. 

 LightBurn can also import vector and raster art from other sources: you can work on your project in other software and then import it into LightBurn when you're ready to run the job.
