| Stage | Recommended Approach | LightBurn Feature | |-------|----------------------|-------------------| | | Keep vector objects on separate layers (e.g., Cut , Engrave , Raster ). | Layer‑based parameter control. | | Material Test | Run a 5 mm test piece using the Material Library entry. Adjust Power and Speed until the cut is clean. | Material Library → “Save As” to create a new entry. | | Optimization | Use “Trim” to remove overlapping lines that would cause double‑cutting. | Edit → Trim (or Ctrl+T ). | | Power Ramping | For thick acrylic, enable “Power Ramping” on the cut layer – LightBurn will gradually increase power as the head moves slower. | Layer Settings → Power Ramping . | | Air‑Assist Tuning | Set Air‑Assist to “On” for cutting, “Off” for fine engraving. | Device → Air‑Assist toggle. | | Job Preview | Run a Full Simulation with the heat‑map overlay to spot potential hotspots. | Preview → Heat‑Map (new in 1.7.06). | | Safety | Enable “Laser Off” at the start of every job and after completion (via the “Safety” tab). | Device → Safety Settings . | | Documentation | Export a PDF of the job layout for the shop floor. | File → Export → PDF (includes power/speed legends). |
