Hi, I’m a tech teacher from Queensland, Australia. We use a couple of 100W Thunder Lasers (900x600 bed) in our school. We are experimenting with using Lightburn in an educational environment but I’m having issues with Lightburn and our IT ecosystem as far as student access goes. As a plan B, I’m hoping to use RDWorks to give students independent access to the laser cutters. I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.

Welcome Shane - be sure to back up the vendor settings. They are easily lost and difficult to recover.
As far as Lightburn - you may want to post in the LIGHTBURN section here of go directly to the Lightburn website Forum - the author of LIGHTBURN is very responsive and is probably the best person to query IRT how to overcome and IT issues with his software.
