Knowing your software options is one of the first steps to selection.
Each software program has its own design and output capabilities and limitations along with its own unique learning curve. Consider all your design and output requirements for laser processing and become familiar with how you will use the software. There are a variety of training resources available from classroom to online to become more proficient with your design software of choice.
Finally, do your own research, ask questions, and get the answers necessary to make sure the software you choose fully supports your requirements with the laser system you are considering.
