Producing identical items in bulk? Absolute Coordinates align your design with your machine’s home position, ensuring each piece is exactly the same every time. Just set up your jig once and swap out materials easily.
LightBurn's job origin settings are like your laser's steering wheel. Knowing when to use Absolute Coordinates, User Origin, or Current Position can dramatically boost your productivity and precision. Here’s how to pick the best option for your projects:
Producing identical items in bulk? Absolute Coordinates align your design with your machine’s home position, ensuring each piece is exactly the same every time. Just set up your jig once and swap out materials easily.
Creating custom, personalized pieces? User Origin lets you adjust your starting position on the fly, giving you the flexibility needed for unique or varied items.
Turn scraps into valuable items. Current Position lets you place small designs exactly where your laser head is positioned—perfect for utilizing leftover materials efficiently.
You'll find the origin options in the
Laser window, typically located in the
lower right-hand corner of the screen by default. If you don’t see it, go to the
top menu bar, click on
Window, and make sure
Laser is checked. Once the panel is visible, you can choose between
Absolute Coordinates,
User Origin, and
Current Position, along with your preferred start point using the 9-point grid.
Choosing the right job origin setting isn’t just a technical detail—it’s the difference between guesswork and great results. Now that you know how each one works and where to find them in LightBurn, it’s time to put that knowledge to work.
