In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the Laser Tools - Print and Cut feature in LightBurn laser software to perfectly align your laser engraving projects. In this video I will be using a cardboard template and slate coasters to demonstrate the use of this tool. This technique allows you to efficiently engrave multiple items with exact positioning every time.
This can include items like cribbage boards, or other items created on a CNC for which you want to use the laser to engrave graphics, numbers, etc. on the CNC carved item.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced laser user, this method will save time. Watch as I walk through the full setup— LightBurn to testing alignment and engraving the final coasters.
