What is the best drawing software for laser cutters? Should you use software like Lightburn or Retina Engrave 3 that shipped with your laser? Or should you opt for a more comprehensive vector drawing tool like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. If you are working with 3D models, should you scale up to a full 3D CAD tool like Fusion 360?

Knowing which tool use and when to use it can be a bit intimidating and in this video I want to provide you with a bit of insight to help answer the many questions you will have when starting your journey with a laser cutter/engraver.
