How to Simultaneously Engrave and Cut on Wood Using LightBurn Layers

To achieve both engraving and cutting on wood, you can leverage the Layer Function in LightBurn. Here's how:

1. Separate Engraving and Cutting with Layers
In LightBurn, you can create different layers for engraving and cutting. Each layer is represented by a different color, which helps in organizing your work.

2. Assign Different Parameters for Each Layer
Once you've separated your design into distinct layers, you can assign specific parameters for engraving and cutting:

• • Use low power and fast speed for the engraving layer.
  • Use high power and slow speed for the cutting layer.

3. Process Each Layer Sequentially
By assigning different colors to each layer (for example, blue for engraving and red for cutting), LightBurn will handle each layer with its designated settings, allowing you to simultaneously engrave and cut on the wood in one go.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage both engraving and cutting tasks on your wood projects, saving time and effort!
