1.3.01 expanded compatibility with ComMarker B4 and other "Dynamic" FPGA-based boards. It also included preliminary support for SPI galvo sources, strengthening LightBurn’s position in the fiber laser market.
The camera calibration process was refined to utilize a center crosshatch pattern, intended to improve precision in aligning the camera view with the laser bed. 2. Workflow Enhancements: The Sub-Layer System lightburn-1-3-01-full-version
The headline feature is the introduction of a tab system within the cut settings, allowing users to add multiple sub-layers to a single main layer. This is crucial for complex projects requiring different actions (e.g., cut, 45-degree fill, -45-degree fill) on the same vector without creating multiple color-coded layers. particularly those with Ruida controllers
Some users, particularly those with Ruida controllers, experienced "Transfer failed" errors on large projects, often linked to communication timeouts. importantly for power users
LightBurn 1.3.01 stands as a pivotal update in the development of the premier laser cutting and engraving software, focusing heavily on enhancing workflow efficiency for professional users and refining support for advanced hardware. Released in late 2022, this version introduced key structural changes to layering and, importantly for power users, deeper integration with galvo laser systems.
