In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to download LaserCut 5.3 and Install it. Laser Cut very old but still very useful software to control laser machines. Mainly LaserCut inherit to run laser machines with controller cards MPC6515 and MPC6535

You can Download LaserCut 5.3 from this link - Download

After downloading extract the files from the zipped archive to a new directory.

Results of the first stage of the LaserCAD III software package development are presented. The main subjects of LaserCAD III are the dynamics, modulation and power versus behaviour of wide kinds of semiconductor lasers. We are a small team of software developers, engineers, artists who have a passion to create new things or just help make things better for everyone to enjoy. The more people are happy, the more we are happy. We are very simple in that way.

The archive contains 3 folders,
Lasercut 5.3 – Control Software. This is used to prepare the cutting files before sending them to the laser
• Driver – USB Dongle. An additional driver for the USB dongle if you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7
• Driver – Laser Cutter. The driver to connect directly to the laser cutter.
In a typical install, all the required drivers will be set up as part of the Lasercut Installer, the additional drivers are only provided for completeness.

2. Installing Lasercut 5.3

Run the “Setup.exe” program from within the LaserCut 5.3 folder, this will start the installation of Lasercut 5.3

Install Lasercut using the default settings. The ‘Lasercut53′ type is a standalone version of Lasercut which can be used in demonstration mode without the need for the softdog dongle.

Like most older programs Lasercut prefers to run from the default paths.


The program will install Lasercut, the drivers for the USB dongle and the drivers for the laser cutter.
Once complete navigate to the newly created folder to start the program.


3. Checking the Drivers


Connect both the Laser cutter and the USB dongle to the computer. If the drivers have installed correctly then they will appear in the device manager as shown above. If the USB dongle has not installed correctly it will appear as EZ-USB-FX2 with a warning symbol next to it. To manually update the driver right click to an item in device manager. Select Update driver and then manually select the folder downloaded in the first step. Windows will then determine which driver is best for your version of windows and update appropriately.


4. Running Lasercut 5.3


There are two versions of Lasercut located within the program path, a full version, and a demonstration version.
The full version of Lasercut, “Lasercut53.exe”, will only run if the softdog USB dongle is connected to the computer. This version gives you complete control over the laser cutter. You can download jobs to the laser, adjust the cutting position and start a job all from within Lasercut.
The demo version of Lasercut, “Lasercut53_Demo.exe”, will run even if the softdog USB dongle is not present. This version of the software has limited capabilities; in particular, it does not allow you to save your work and it does not connect to the laser cutter (the program will crash if this is attempted). There are workarounds which allow you to prepare files while using the demonstration version.

5. Selecting the appropriate Laser cutter


For the first execution of the Lasercut program simply run the appropriate labelled “.bat” file from the install directory.
Lasercut extracts laser cutter information from the “syscfg.ini” file stored next to its executable. This file contains information about the size of the machine, the maximum speed of the axis and lots of other data. When the “bat” file is run it simply copies the appropriate configuration file for the target machine and replaces the “syscfg.ini” file with it. The bat file then launches the Lasercut application. Each time Lasercut is run from this point onwards it will refer to the target machine. These “bat” files are particularly useful when one computer is used to connect to multiple sizes of laser cutter.

Question:

Lasercad Laser Software Free

I imported a DXF file into lasercut but it didn't come in the correct size. How do I import my DXF files and keep them the right size? They are originally in inches.

Quick Answer:

Change the CAD software to define the project measurement units. .. or resize the project in LaserCut software with the 'Size' command.

Complete Answer:

You have two options.
You can check your settings in the CAD software. Sometimes people leave the drawing settings as an undefined unit. The important thing is for the DXF file to embed the measurement units in the file. I know that AutoCAD and other software do this correctly. The LaserCut 5.3 software will import a DXF file and likes the version 2000 files the best. So long as the measurement is unit defined, the Lasercut 5.3 will import the correct size in Metric.
The second option is for if you don't have control over the CAD software. You can import the image and insert into the drawing space. Select the items that you want to resize. Items should turn Red. Press 'Control'+'G' keys or select the 'size' command from the menu. Notice the current width and height dimensions. You can set a new width and height. If the original size was undefined, but in inches, then you can multiply the inches by 25.4 to get the prper size in millimeters.
