Patch It Up Pro
Patch It Up Pro for Laser Engravers
Short answer: Laser shops juggle CorelDraw, LightBurn, Illustrator, and pricing spreadsheets to run a custom order. Patch It Up Pro collapses that into one tool: design, preview on 100+ material finishes, separate cut and engrave layers automatically, and export files that open directly in LightBurn, RDWorks, or most OEM laser software.
Why shops use it
- Preview engraves on real materials: Accurate color-change previews for stainless steel, brass, anodized aluminum, wood, leather, and acrylic. Customers approve the exact look before a single pass runs.
- Layer-separated exports on every file: Cut, score, and engrave operations export on separate layers or colors. LightBurn, RDWorks, xTool, and OMTech software reads them directly.
- One tool for every production line: Laser shops that also run patches, DTF, UV printing, or stickers cover every line from the same subscription.
- Quote fast and accurately: Per-design pricing factors material, engrave area, and cut length to quote jobs in seconds. Customers get numbers same day instead of waiting for a phone call.
Frequently asked questions
- What lasers does this support?
- Any laser whose control software reads SVG, PDF, DXF, or TIFF. xTool, OMTech, Epilog, Trotec, Universal, and most Chinese CO2 and fiber lasers all work. Exports include layer and color separation so the machine reads cut, score, and engrave correctly.
- Can I preview a photo engrave on wood or leather?
- Yes. Raster engraves preview on wood, leather, anodized aluminum, and other common raster-suitable materials with dithering presets. Exports deliver TIFF or PNG at configurable DPI for photo raster work.
- Does the quoting factor material cost and engrave time?
- Yes. The pricing engine factors material size, engrave area, cut length, and operation type. Set your shop's per-minute laser rate and per-square-inch material cost once, and every design quotes automatically with transparent line items.
