The teaser sets the tone: if you are still bouncing back to EZCAD, stop. LightBurn now covers the entire galvo workflow so you never need to reinstall drivers or juggle two apps. From there the crew drops a beta release of the UV parameter library, then gets practical about why UV sources behave so differently, how pulse width direction can invert between INGU and JPT, and why lens size matters far less than you think. Expect frank talk about safe materials, community contributions for 10-watt conversions, alignment tricks for glass and photos, and when a fiber or a big CO₂ gantry still beats UV. Sponsor shout to Johnson Plastics Plus, a bamboo engraving sneak peek, and a quick tour of the in-progress materials hazard database and the revived Buying Guide.
