In one sentence
BeamSketch is laser engraving software that runs right in the browser: design, engrave and send to your laser via USB – nothing to install.
Short description
BeamSketch is an online editor for GRBL diode lasers, such as those from Creality, Sculpfun, Atomstack or Ortur. Users design signs, gifts and parts from shapes, text and images and send the job via USB straight from Chrome or Edge to the laser – or save it as a GCode file for the SD card. There is nothing to install: BeamSketch runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chromebooks.
Long description
BeamSketch is laser engraving software that runs entirely in the browser. It is made for owners of GRBL diode lasers – hobby makers, Etsy sellers, makerspaces and schools. Instead of installing a program, you open beamsketch.com, pick your laser from a list and get started: draw shapes, set text in more than 130 fonts, engrave photos, generate finger-joint boxes and open LightBurn projects. With the AI tools AI Create and AI Lasso, a single sentence becomes an engravable design. The finished job goes via USB straight from Chrome or Edge to the laser or is saved as a GCode file. Projects and custom symbols are stored in the user's account and are available on any computer. BeamSketch is available in 13 languages and is developed by Felix Stopa in Remscheid, Germany.
