THANK YOU for this video!! We have a new Thunder Nova 51 and I’m starting to engrave cups! I’m pretty savvy with Illustrator and just seeing this content has steered me in the right direction. Now I know exactly what to do! I ran across your channel when watching a video from Laser Engraving with Matt. He was using your fill technique with powder coating. I feel like a kid in a candy store and so excited to make new things. Your extensive video on measuring and adjusting graphics for unusually shaped tumblers is a Godsend! Thanks for making TRULY HELPFUL content for other makers like me!

Adobe is a better program than Corel draw I've never seen it in action and I'm impressed with it. This technique is you showed very handy, what I've done in the past when I only had "laser cad" is create a border, fill in the blanks with a contrasting color then disable the color I don't want to etch out.

@LaserEngraving911 Жыл бұрын

agreed, adobe is king when it comes to what program you should be using to to prepare your art files for laser engraving, for engraving and cutting.

@@LaserEngraving911 I just imported a file into Lightburn from Illustrator. Inside lightburn, I ungrouped the artwork until it wouldn't ungroup anymore. Then I selected the background shape and moved it. All of the artwork was now negative. I thought that was about the easiest way. That wasn't intended by mistake of course but I thought I would share that. If you mentioned that than thanks!

I'm sure there is a similar process, I would recommend you get adobe though, as this is the industry standard for making graphics for laser engraving, its worth the money! every penny

This was super helpful, im taking a Longshot here but we are creating a club and need to make thousands of custom cards, anodized aluminum, entire card will be the same except for names and member numbers, if you have any suggestions on what softwares, layout programs jigs etc I would love your input. Ive played around with lightburn and an atomstack x20 pro ive made cards that i love the outcome of but i need to go from one card every 10 to 20 mins to 100 cards a day atleast. I am in over my head i know but im hoping to find some input to get me on the right path

@LaserEngraving911 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, you will want to make a template that you can load into Light burn that has as many cards as you can fit on your working area of your laser, and have the part where the name goes "editable" then all you do is load in the cards, change the names as you see fit, and run the whole job. You can make this jig or template in adobe illustrator or lightbar, and you can cut it it out of thin wood, where the shape of each business card is cut from the wood so its easy to place. check this out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcCXmdl1qdychKs.html

Is there any particular difference between doing this and using the negative option in light burn?

@LaserEngraving911 Жыл бұрын

Hi Scott, I'm pretty sure there is not a 1 click button for converting "vector images to negative" in lightburn, maybe for JPEG images yes, and png, bitmaps, but not vectors, but I think you can achieve the same process with a few steps in light burn like I did here on adobe illustrator for sure though. This tutorial is for converting vector images to a negative, not jpg, png, bitmaps or other non vector formats.

@@LaserEngraving911 thanks for the quick reply,and yes I didn’t notice that it was a vector image. I suppose a second question to ask here is there any practical reason to not convert an svg to another format to then negative?

@LaserEngraving911 Жыл бұрын

@@Scott-gg6kf Yes of course, if you know that final color of the engraving (depends on the substrate) will be darker than the foreground color (surface color), then you don't need to do this. 👍

great, now do it in Lightburn as not everyone, raises hand, has an Adobe subscription.

@IAmErnicus Жыл бұрын

In lightburn all you have to do is use the offset tool and draw a line around it. keep it thin so as not to look goofy. It will then engrave black/white in opposites.
