Lightburn  is layout, editing, and control software for your laser cutter.

It's in very active development and all the reviews are good, it got to the point where I could no longer ignore it and I felt I should check it out.

Bit of a semi complete project this one but it was something quick I did this morning. A friend wanted a score card flip board, 5 rounds, scores 1-10.
