I will be building a engraver/cutter very soon and one thing I can't get straight. What software would I use to control the engraving mode of the machine? The X axis will need to move back and forth quickly and the laser pulsed according to what needs to be engraved. Will Mach3 be able to do that? (I don't think so?)
From what I figure in needs to work like a laser printer, scanning the beam across. Or like most other printers, printing line after line.


Any help or advice or sites will be greatly appreciated and rewarded after the project is engraving things
