Maximize Your Efficiency with the Array Tool: A Quick Guide

Hey everyone, welcome back to Rabbit Laser USA! Today, I want to share a quick tip that will save you time and make your workflow more efficient. We’re going to dive into using the array tool in LightBurn.


Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Array Tool


  1. Prepare Your Artwork: First things first, ensure your artwork is grouped together. Grouping everything helps it move and duplicate as a single unit, making the process smoother.
  2. Access the Array Tool: On the sidebar, click on the small grid box icon. This opens up the grid array options.
  3. Setting Up Duplicates:
    X Option:
    This option creates duplicates horizontally, from left to right. Adjust the number of duplicates by using the up and down arrows or directly entering the desired number.
    Y Option:
    The Y option does the same thing but vertically. Adjust the number of duplicates just like you did with the X option.
  4. Optimize Material Usage: Adjust the spacing between each copy, both horizontally and vertically, to get the most out of your material. This visual representation helps you fit as many duplicates as possible onto your material, reducing waste.

Final Tips


  • Fine-Tune the Spacing: By tweaking the horizontal and vertical spacing, you can tighten up the fitment of your duplicates, making your workflow more efficient.
  • Visual Representation: The array tool gives you a clear visual representation of how your duplicates will fit, making adjustments easier and more intuitive.
