There are two major components to consider. First is the layout software. Typical layout software solutions include CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, CAD programs, and many other page layout programs. These layout programs create the artwork that is engraved or cut by the laser system. The second part of the software solution is the print driver and interface software. These printer driver and interface programs are provided by the laser system manufacturer and control laser features such as power, speed, and resolution.
