Menu options vary depending on the type of laser you have selected, such as Gantry (GCode/DSP) or Galvo lasers. ![download-4](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/download-4.png?width=289&height=252&name=download-4.png)     ![download (1)-4](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/download%20(1)-4.png?width=288&height=230&name=download%20(1)-4.png) --- ### Key Features of the Laser Tools Menu #### **Print and Cut** Aligns your current LightBurn project to a previously output design using target locations. This feature requires a properly homed Gantry-style laser with an accurate motion system. --- ### Calibration Tools #### **Calibrate Camera Lens** Corrects for lens distortion to produce accurate camera overlays for the LightBurn Workspace. #### **Calibrate Camera Alignment** Aligns a camera capture to the LightBurn Workspace and laser coordinate system by engraving and tagging markers. #### **Calibrate Galvo Lens** Marks a test pattern for measuring and compensating for distortion in uncalibrated Galvo lenses. --- ### Rotary and Cylinder Setup #### **Rotary Setup** - **Shortcut**: Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + R Configures parameters for using a rotary attachment to engrave cylindrical objects like tumblers and bottles. #### **Cylinder Correction Setup** Adjusts designs to account for surface expansion on cylindrical objects, enabling marking without a rotary. #### **Taper Warp** Compensates for differences in diameter between the top and bottom of a cylindrical object during engraving. --- ### Testing and Optimization #### **Focus Test** Generates a test pattern to determine the optimal focal height for engraving, requiring a machine with a controllable Z Axis. #### **Interval Test** Creates a test pattern to identify the best line interval for engraving based on speed and power. #### **Material Test** Generates a grid of varying combinations of Speed, Power, Interval, and other device-dependent variables to find the best settings for a material. --- ### Galvo-Specific Tools #### **Repeat Marking** Configures Galvo lasers to use rotating or linear axis tables for repetitive marking on parts. #### **Feeder Setup** Opens the auto-feed settings dialog for configuring Ruida or Trocen controllers with auto-feed devices. --- ### Advanced Positioning #### **Center Finder** Finds the center of circular objects or objects described by a circle diameter, aligning the laser to three points on the object. --- The **Laser Tools Menu** in LightBurn is essential for users seeking to optimize laser operations and achieve precise results. With tools for calibration, rotary configuration, material testing, and more, this menu equips you with everything needed to take your laser projects to the next level. - [Lightburn](https://support.salasers.com/lightburn?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Lightburn For Galvo (Fiber)](https://support.salasers.com/lightburn?hsLang=en#lightburn-for-galvo-fiber) - [Lightburn For Gantry (Co2,RF)](https://support.salasers.com/lightburn?hsLang=en#lightburn-for-gantry-co2rf) - [Fiber (Galvo) Lasers](https://support.salasers.com/fiber-galvo-lasers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.salasers.com/fiber-galvo-lasers?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Co2 Lasers](https://support.salasers.com/co2-lasers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Razor Series](https://support.salasers.com/co2-lasers?hsLang=en#razor-series) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.salasers.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [EzCad 2](https://support.salasers.com/ezcad-2?hsLang=en) - [How-To Guides](https://support.salasers.com/how-to-guides?hsLang=en) - [Explainers](https://support.salasers.com/explainers?hsLang=en) - [Tools & Features](https://support.salasers.com/tools-features?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Interface](https://support.salasers.com/tools-features?hsLang=en#user-interface) - [Essential Functions](https://support.salasers.com/tools-features?hsLang=en#essential-functions) - [Layout and Design](https://support.salasers.com/tools-features?hsLang=en#layout-and-design) # San Antonio Laser SALasers.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, San Antonio Laser
