Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with my laser?
- Yes if it reads SVG, PDF, DXF, or TIFF. Patch It Up Pro exports standard vector and raster formats that LightBurn, RDWorks, xTool, OMTech, Epilog, Trotec, and most other laser software import directly.
- Can I preview the engrave on specific metals like stainless or brass?
- Yes. The material library includes laser color-change previews for stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, and anodized finishes. Customers see the exact look of the engrave on the target metal before production.
- Does the designer handle raster engraves?
- Yes. Raster-suitable designs export as TIFF or PNG at configurable DPI. The designer applies dithering presets for photographic raster engraves on wood, leather, and anodized aluminum.
