Feature Overview

Print and Cut is designed for applications that require laser cutting along the outline of a printed design.

Beam Studio adds registration marks to the print file. After placing the printed material in the laser machine, the camera recognizes these marks, automatically corrects the material’s actual position and angle, and aligns the cutting path with the printed design.

Even if the material is slightly shifted or rotated when placed in the machine, the registration marks can correct the alignment and reduce deviations between the printed design and the cutting position. This is suitable for stickers, cards, and other projects that require contour cutting after printing.
