A virtual laser lets you try Lùmen before your machine arrives, with the job burning on screen as it runs. The pen now draws curves, and you can edit a shape's points, combine shapes, add an outline around a design and break a drawing into separate parts. Cut parts come out the size you drew them, and DXF files open like SVGs. If you're coming from an earlier version, this update also brings projects in several pieces and SVG files that land where they were drawn.
These builds are only for rolling back if the current release misbehaves. They also require macOS 15.6 Sequoia or later: they won't run on an older Mac. They receive no fixes — anything repaired later stays broken here. Without a specific reason, download 3.5 instead.
SVG files from Illustrator or from tracing tools now land where they were drawn, instead of out of place or upside down. A project made of several pieces, such as a layered panel, opens as one file and is cut one piece at a time, and a .lumen project opens with a double-click.
Z buttons for machines that raise and lower the head with a motor, such as a CNC with a laser module. And the work area you type in for your own machine is no longer replaced by the controller's every time you connect.
The new SCULPFUN C2 is in the machine list, in both its 7 W and 14 W versions.
The Power/Speed Test Grid window fits again: its Generate and Cancel buttons were cut off, so a test grid couldn't be created.
Long engravings no longer slow down or pause: Lùmen keeps the machine fed for the whole job, even on large photos. Cuts and scores burn evenly through corners and small lettering, filled SVG artwork engraves with your material's settings, and imported curves follow the drawing more closely. Your zero stays put when the laser is switched off and on, and nothing can interrupt a running job by mistake. Two starter projects get you to a first engraving straight away, the File and Help menus are reorganised, Feed Hold is now ⌘P, and a crash on macOS 27 is fixed.
Your laser's power now comes with your machine: built-in presets are listed once per laser power they're sold with, Lùmen asks which laser you have and checks it against the bed the machine reports, and the material presets — measured on a 3 W diode — adapt their power, speed and passes to yours, as does the test grid; a machine that sits turned on your table, like an Artilume T1 used from the side, is set right with ↻ beside the jog pad, so the arrows, the canvas and the engraving agree; artwork that runs to the edge of the bed is burnt right up to it instead of losing whole lines, and a job no longer starts with a move off the bed; text and curves on a Score or Cut stream as far fewer moves, so a bed grid's numbers no longer stall slower boards; the canvas toolbar folds away into any corner; time estimates no longer overstate long cut lines; and Settings › License links to your orders and receipts.
QR codes and barcodes (QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, Code 128/39, EAN-13, UPC-A) with Wi-Fi, contact and link helpers and a check that they'll scan; a numbered bed grid to burn on a sheet and place parts by their coordinates; lock objects, or keep them on screen as references that never burn; select several objects and move, resize, align or space them together; send a drawn shape from Engrave to Cut or Score and back without losing its fill; cut, copy, paste and duplicate (also between projects); a right-click menu; rulers; Fit to Scene (⌘9); resizable text; Frame traced with the laser dot on; photo previews that look the way they will engrave; and Machine Home jobs that always run in machine coordinates, even when the controller stores a G54 offset, so they no longer burn shifted from the canvas and the Frame.
Engrave an image in several light passes instead of one hard one, time estimates that account for acceleration, and a warning before a raster whose duration is decided by its move count.
New objects now start on your zero instead of the middle of the bed, and “Move design to zero” brings an existing design back onto it.
Rotary attachment for cups, tumblers and tubes; safer positioning on machines with no limit switches; connections at 961200 baud; and a live scan front that shows where the laser has actually got to.
Air assist, undo with ⌘Z, per-object engrave settings, and faster engraving of images with white margins.
Cut & Score operations per SVG colour, new layer panel, and a line-by-line job preview.
Improved UI, minor bugfixes.
