Thunder Laser laser software

Yes — Vextrify works with Thunder Laser. Thunder Laser CO2 machines with a Ruida controller connect to Vextrify for live control, and Vextrify exports .rd files for the controller's USB stick and clean files for LightBurn. Beyond control, Vextrify is a full suite: it prepares photos, removes backgrounds, vectorizes logos and lays out jobs, then runs the machine — and it manages several machines, each in its own tab, on macOS and Windows. You can start free in the browser and add the desktop app for live control.

• Connects to Thunder Laser CO2 lasers
• Framing, dry-run and live job control
• Built-in photo, background, vector and relief prep

Thunder Laser CO2 machines with a Ruida controller connect to Vextrify for live control, and Vextrify exports .rd files for the controller's USB stick and clean files for LightBurn. Once connected, Vextrify gives you framing to position the job, a dry-run to check travel, and live control to start, pause, resume or stop — with the device's safety limits respected. If you would rather finish in another tool, Vextrify exports clean files for LightBurn and EZCAD, and .rd files for Ruida controllers.

• USB connection with profile detection
• Framing, dry-run and live job control
• Clean exports for LightBurn / EZCAD / Ruida (.rd)

The biggest difference from a plain controller is everything that happens before the burn. With your Thunder Laser, Vextrify lets you prepare photos for engraving, remove busy backgrounds, extract cut contours, vectorize logos to SVG and lay everything out millimetre-accurately on the machine bed — all feeding straight into the job, with no exporting and re-importing between programs.

• Photo engraving prep with material-aware tones
• Background removal, contour-to-SVG and vectorize
• Millimetre-accurate layout on the machine bed

Vextrify runs natively on macOS and Windows and in the browser, so your Thunder Laser workflow is not tied to one operating system. A calibrated camera places designs exactly on the material, a built-in material test grid helps you find your own speed and power, and you can manage several machines, each in its own tab from one license — useful as soon as you add a second machine.

• Native macOS and Windows, plus browser
• Camera placement on the material
• Several machines, each in its own tab, one license

Create a free account and prepare a photo or logo in the browser first, then install the desktop app to connect your Thunder Laser for live control. No second computer or operating-system switch required.
