It reads SVG and DXF files, interprets the +data and sends commands to the K40 controller to move the laser head and +control the laser accordingly. K40 Whisperer does not require a USB key +(dongle) to function. + +Features: +- Reads SVG files and DXF files. +- Splits input design based on color formatting (red, blue). +- In SVG files blue and red paths are interpreted as vectors for vector + engraving and cutting. Everything else is transferred as a raster image. +- In DXF files blue paths are interpreted as vector engrave (blue). + Everything else is interpreted as vector cut (red). +- Performs cuts on features inside of other features before cutting the outside + features. (If you cut the outside first the part might drop out of the stock + material.) +- Converts gray scale images to halftone images to simulating varying levels of + gray (i.e. engraving pictures). The Halftone option needs to be selected + under "Raster"-"Settings" to enable halftoning. + +WWW: http://www.scorchworks.com/K40whisperer/k40whisperer.html |
