LaserBurn AI User Guide

Before diving into the workflow, let’s first clarify the core principles and technical definitions of the four AI features in LaserBurn.

1. Text-to-Image

Feature Overview:
This is the most fundamental and essential AI image generation function. By entering a descriptive phrase (known as a Prompt), the AI model generates a brand-new image from scratch that visually matches the description.

2. Image-to-Image

Feature Overview:
This function allows users to recreate or enhance an existing image by applying new prompts. It can alter the image’s style, tone, or content, or even generate a completely new composition based on the original structure.

3. Auto Focus

Feature Overview:
The autofocus function eliminates the need for manual adjustments. Using software-driven calibration, it automatically completes the focusing process.
LaserBurn identifies focus success when two points converge — ensuring high precision, reducing human error, and maintaining consistent, reliable focusing results. The fully electronic adjustment enables rapid optimization of the focal plane, significantly improving both efficiency and repeatability.

4. Batch Fill

Feature Overview:
Batch Fill allows users to simultaneously engrave multiple isolated, enclosed shapes (e.g., text, vector graphics, logos).
By using the built-in camera, the system automatically detects and aligns multiple similar materials and fills them with the same engraving pattern — enabling high efficiency and uniformity across all processed items.

II. Step-by-Step Practical Guide

Let’s walk through a practical example that connects all four features — creating a marketing poster for a new Cyberpunk-style phone case.

Step 1: Text-to-Image — Create the Initial Concept

Goal: Generate the main product visual for a cyberpunk-themed phone case.

Process:

1. Open the Text-to-Image module in the AI creation tool.

2. Enter the prompt — this is the key step; the more detailed, the better.

   Prompt (positive):

   Cyberpunk phone case, glowing neon blue liquid, intricate circuit pattern on surface, metal texture, dark background, cinematic lighting, futuristic, 8k, highly detailed

   Prompt (negative):

   blurry, ugly, deformed, watermark, text

   (Used to exclude unwanted elements.)

3. Choose parameters:

   • Style: Select a colorful, sci-fi-oriented style for poster visuals.

   • Aspect ratio: Set to 9:16 or as needed for your design.

4. Click Generate to produce the image.

Step 2: Image-to-Image — Refine or Replace the Background

Goal: Keep the phone case design but make the background more dynamic and futuristic.

Process:

1. Import the generated image from Step 1 into the Image-to-Image module.

2. Enter the new prompt:

   A busy neon-lit city street at night with cars flying by in the background and lights reflecting off the rain-soaked ground

3. Select the output image that best integrates the product and background.

Step 3: Auto Focus

Goal: Ensure precise laser focus to avoid uneven engraving caused by incorrect focal distance.

Process:

1. Place the phone case under the laser head.

2. In the focus settings, click Auto Focus.

3. The machine will automatically adjust until the two focus points converge — then you can proceed to engraving.

Step 4: Batch Fill

Goal: Automate multi-object engraving to ensure high consistency and productivity.

Process:

1. On the left toolbar, select the Camera function and click Capture.

2. Place the materials to be engraved within the working area, then position one reference item on the material surface.

3. Enable the AI Enhancement Mode and click Batch Fill.

4. Wait until all engraving objects are properly recognized and duplicated across materials.

III. Application Scenarios

When combined, these four features cover almost the entire creative and production pipeline — from concept generation to final product output.

Text-to-Image

Use Cases:

• Concept Design: Game characters, environments, and architectural ideation.

• Inspiration: Visualizing story scenes or creative concepts.

• Art Creation: Producing unique digital artworks.

• Social Media Assets: Quickly generating visuals that match your post content.

Image-to-Image

Use Cases:

• Style Transfer: Turn a regular photo into a sketch or painting.

• Product Visualization: Convert hand-drawn sketches into realistic renders.

• Old Photo Restoration: Restore and restyle vintage photos.

Auto Focus

Use Cases:

• Camera Detection: When material surfaces are uneven, the Z-axis automatically adjusts to keep the camera focus consistent.

• Control Logic: Driven by a stepper motor, the lens performs active tracking and continuous autofocus for precision measurement and positioning.

Batch Fill

Use Cases:

• Mass Engraving: Serial numbers, logos, QR codes, or names on materials like metal, wood, or acrylic.

• Variable Data Engraving:
  For instance, entering “Not: 1” automatically generates a series:

  Not: 2, Not: 3, Not: 4 …

✅ Tip:

Mastering the four AI features — Text-to-Image, Image-to-Image, Auto Focus, and Batch Fill — allows creators to seamlessly transition from imagination to execution, achieving efficient, consistent, and visually stunning engraving results with LaserBurn.
