Far more efficient than using a limited functionality engraver driver, EngraveLab, provides complete design, file preparation and production tools for laser engravers all in a single software application. Trace is good for some things (3D deburring at under 45° sloped edges for instance, or back deburring with a lollipop mill if you want to take the time and effort) but really bad at others.Įdit: oh and turn the Lead-in and Lead-out off.EngraveLab v10 Laser Ruida™ Edition bypasses the need to use any intermediary or third-party software applications and drives laser engravers using Ruida™ motion control systems DIRECTLY*. So, how do you make it use arcs?Use 2D Contour, turn Compensation Type to Off.

In the post I said "yes" to "use radius" (thinking that meant arcs).Ĭode generated with about 150 line segments. In CAM, used trace with the circle as geometry and selected a tool. Used sketch to draw a 1" diameter circle on surface, center point and diameter method to draw circle. Keep in mind my usage of Fusion is only for my curiosity (I have a system I'm very familiar with). Maybe it is just my post or but it sure seems like it would be more efficient if they used some arcs. The other thing that surprised me was that all these engraving programs seem to only use G00 and G01 codes. I downloaded the sample program and it does look much better with various font options and lots of tool path options. I have noticed on here before (years ago) some people were using MillWrite software for engraving. It just does not offer too many options and seems to always want to work with Truetype fonts which winds up making huge piles of code just for a few letters. I think the CAM, which is HSMWorks, with Fusion is really great so far but am not real impressed with the engraving.

I am using Fusion 360 with it and this weekend did some engraving. I now have an older Brother cnc machine and have been figuring all that out. I guess I have become sort-of an engraving snob. Nothing too fancy but still nice looking engraving. I have had a gorton rotary engraver for years and have done some really nice work with it.
