K40 Whisperer is an alternative to the Laser Draw (LaserDRW) program that comes
|
||
|
|
with some Chinese laser cutters. 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.
