It's cool way to get youth started with designing for the lasercutter!
What do you like best?
It's easy to get started and free. It's open source, so we could add a button to the menu and integrate it with our lasercutters.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes the menus migrate all over the screen, get hidden and the reset is not intuitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's really the best software for using with beginners in CAD for lasercutters and vinylcutters
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We use LibreOffice Draw in our Fab Lab as free software for lasercutting CAD. We wrote a little python script to add a simple pop up box for inputting boundaries, power, speed and frequency that allows even our youngest fabricators to learn how to control the lasercutter. I work with youth whose families live with low incomes and using free software allows them to download and design at home! We've been using the software for over 15 years with great success!
