Incredible, with a simple camera it is openning so much new possibilities with the laser and lightburn.

That's amazing!

Nice to see you here

Outstanding demonstration, I knew the camera option was powerful now I see why. Thank you!

Wow! This is the first video I've seen that shows what I was wondering about the camera and how much it can replace the red dot laser. Thanks Man!

Getting more and more impressed by your program. Im certenly gonna buy it for my homebuilt co2 laser cuttert as soon as i finnished designing the last parts of it.

Welp... I'm sold. Great demonstration! Thank you!

Lightburn, you have changed a lot of peoples lives for the better. What a great job you are doing, like Russ and his laser tutorials. i get sick of the smart arse comments like some below. As you say, everyone is a critic. I can say, you guys have helped me make quite a bit of useful coin. I am looking forward to when we finally get to version 1.0. I can only imagine what that will be like. Go USA, always the innovators. Greetings from Western Australia...

Love this! Thank you so much for posting!

That will be handy! Thanks for showing this. I am demoing your software and its awesome. I will be purchasing.

Stunning, i must get a camera for my setup :)

@lightburn Software, I notice that your targets are flat on the bed from when you aligned the camera. But your coaster sits up a little bit. How did you get the camera to align so perfectly? Even with my piece of leather at the same height as my targets, it still seems like my preview doesn't line up perfectly 99% of the time. So I have to line it up and adjust it with framing to make sure the design is exactly where I want to place it. I'd love any tips you have to help!

Hi! We run lightburn software and have a 4k-n lighburn 8mp 120 degree camera for our 60w 700x500. However we cannot get the full be view after multiple attempts at calibration. The corners on the bottom appear cut off and seems like it needs to go further away to get more field of view. Question is, do you think we have to get a wide angle camera instead of the narrow camera we have? They are never in stock so what other camera options do you know of besides the pre loaded lightburn cameras would work with the light burn software? Any help is appreciated. TIA.

The videos you have for the camera is really good. Camera I have purchased have a very crappy quality and I have not been able to calibrated, I have tried and tried and watched the videos and I have read the articles. As I see in all the videos all the cameras have along lens, but the one I have has a short lens and a very low quality.am I doing something wrong?

can we get a demo on how you are mounting your camera hardware? do I understand that it is mounted at a slight angle under the top lid?

it looks like the camera recognises shapes. does that mean if you printed registration marks around your work. you could use the recognition to do the print and cut alignment process?

Hi my Co2 laser has an option of CCD camera will lightburn work with that ? Should I go for it ?

Thanks for this informative video. There's only one thing kid's like more than star trek emblems, and thats coasters.

What camera is reccomended? I just ordered a OMTech 100w and want to install a camera and obviously a mount lol

Ok, I'm sold

How would I connect and IP camera up so that it works with LightBurn camera feature.

Do you have a video on how to properly mount the camera ?

are you using the camera that lightburn offers on their site or another camera

What laser machine was used in the making of this video?

Does this need special ruida controller ? Iam going to Import a CO2 machine with 6442 ? Is this enough ?

if i traced a product and simply scanned it on a printer into the system wouldnt that be the same? im looking at this very question currently. waiting on my engraver to arrive thank you

Wow. Glad I picked this software and not something else.

Can the camera be used with a CNC router with a laser attachment?

How are you viewing the camera while cutting?

Excellent demo and amazing software, thanks guys for making our hobby immensely better!! One question if you please, can i use a camera without limit switches on my laser?

@lightburnsoftware7189

6 ай бұрын

Limit switches are required so the laser can reliably and accurately know where it is. If the laser positioning isn't accurate, the camera will not be either.

Quick question before I purchase the software , can I put it on two devices with one purchase of the lisence? Cheers

if you ad the camera to your Chinese laser you beat the glowforge

I’m considering an 8MP 85° FOV mounted to the ceiling above my 400x400 bed. Is that over kill? I just want makes sure I keep distortion low to increase accuracy, so I thought the smaller FOV would best do that while also making for the most stable mount possible. Is this overkill or should I just go with an 5MP camera? I have really low ceilings in my shop at just 80” high and great lighting, so I’m conflicted. Thank you if you or someone in comments would give your thoughts

@lightburnsoftware7189

For a 400 x 400mm bed the camera would need to be mounted at least 19" above the bed and would see ~700 x 400mm. I would say it is definitely overkill. The 8mp are typically recommended for very large (1000mm) beds. I would opt for the 5MP camera.

Very Cool, is there a List of Cameras that are compatible with Light Burn?

Nice video, why do all of the video's ignore the x shift, y shift, width and height adjustments. How do you use them to fine tune the alignment?

@lightburnsoftware7189

2 жыл бұрын

Typically it is if you are using materials that are not the same distance away from the camera. If the difference is only slight, you may be able to shift instead of running a new calibration. For large deviations you will likely want to run a new calibration for the new material thickness. This video does a pretty good job of showing/explaining kzread.info/dash/bejne/d2SLuZuzqLOYe7g.html

When doing this, did you have to set an origin point for the coaster or did it know where to engrave it on the coaster?

You use Absolute Coordinates mode with the camera, so everything in the edit window goes exactly where you put it. The system doesn’t automatically place things for you, but allows you to arrange things visually on whatever is within the view of the camera.

The best camera will depend on your laser work area and the height you can mount it at. We have a few options for cameras in our shop: lightburnsoftware.com/collections/cameras LightBurn has a built in camera selection tool that will help you determine the correct choice for your laser: docs.lightburnsoftware.com/Camera/Selection.html

Using the camera seems to take the place of the positioning..i.e. Current position, Absolute, user... Is that correct?

Correct - it forces absolute positioning, so the graphics go where you place them on the captured image.
