Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
The information on this page is incomplete.
Please post your suggestions on our Slack channel #ppm-wiki.
Use LightBurn to import/layout/edit or create new artwork then control your laser cutter settings like power, speed, number of passes, etc.
LightBurn is a commercial software package for Windows, Macintosh OS, and Linux.
It is installed on our Design Workstations 2 and 3 and the Boss Laser Computer.
At home LightBurn subscriptions can be purchased at a discounted rate for being a PPM member. Please see the pinned comment in the 'laser-cutter' channel in Slack for the code.
Please note: Your at home subscription is unique to only you. You will receive an email from LightBurn with your unique registration key. Make note of that key because you will need it again if you renew your subscription. PPM does not have access to your registration key.
