Machine Origin, Start Positions, and Job Origins; these are the first things that I see people struggle with when starting to use lightburn. These couple tips can help you get off to the races with your laser. Lightburn is a great software that is compatible with a wide variety of machines (OMTech, Aeon, Thunder, Laguna… to name a few).
