You have a gap
I have worked with a lot of old CO2 lasers in the steel rule die industry. Two of them were from German companies. Elcede and Lasercomb. We also had a laser that was designed and built by a company...
About 18 months ago, I was going to purchase a Trotec Speedy 300. I was at a 2 day technical seminar, and gave the Trotec sales rep one of my layered PDF files exported out of AI CS3. He imported it...
If you are going to make a purchase like this, it might be worth your time to visit the 3 vendors. I am biased, because I live in MN and Kern is in Wadena, MN. They have 40 employees, and are a...
I also thought that it was a Turkish design, but not according to this post on Reddit from a salesperson for Aeon in China...

Lightburn would not be my first choice as a design platform for running a laser. I have it, and it has some nice features for curved text. It also works pretty well exporting SVG to Corel with fills....
In my working past, I used 7 different CAD programs, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat Professional. Not counting any of the Microsoft business programs. It's the cost of doing business...

Systems like Epilog, Trotec, and Universal Laser use RGB colors for cutting, vector engraving, and raster engraving. Here is a basic setup you would do in Illustrator.

I design everything in a CAD program called Draftsight. I then import into an old version of Illustrator - CS3, or Coreldraw, depending on my design. Corel sometimes does not import my CAD file...
I didn't see anything in your message about the software you would use for designing. That is an important part, especially for creating original designs. But, to your questions.

Sarah - a good contact at Trotec who should be at the NBM show is Dave Stevens - Industrial Applications Manager. He used to work for Universal Laser Systems for about 17 years, and has been with...
Never used it on acrylic. I usually cut mirrored acrylic and vector etch the backside.
This is the last one I bought - 12" wide http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DF7TDSF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Worked pretty good on walnut and maple on some Christmas ornaments...
The Glowforge marketing scam of "Proofgrade Material" is the best:)
Instead of spending dollars on advertising, why not hire a few Customer Support Reps to answer phones?
Maybe this will work - Ralph
Up until recently, if you did a Google search for one of the "big three" - Universal, Trotec, and Epilog - the return results would have an ad link for Glowforge on top. They must have discontinued...
I was cutting a lot of 1/8" 4" x 4" Leatherette Coasters from JDS Industries this week. The settings below were what I found on their site:
Laser Raster settings:

Bert,
I cleaned it up so that it would hold together better. Kept the gaps and lengths to be about 0.050" The "9" is somewhat problematic, so use it if you want.
