Summary

Planned LightBurn-style laser engraving and cutting software, initially targeting GRBL controllers.

Description

An early Rust project planning a LightBurn-style laser engraving and cutting workflow, initially for GRBL controllers. The workspace separates geometry, file import/export, G-code generation, device communication and the GUI. Its README identifies the current stage as Phase 0 workspace bootstrap; these are planned capabilities, not a finished laser-control application.
