About

FRED is a comprehensive tool that simulates the propagation of light through optomechanical systems using ray tracing. It supports both coherent and incoherent light propagation and allows users to assign realistic surface properties to every component in a system. Key features include fast and accurate simulation of various light sources, such as lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and user-defined ray sets. The software offers advanced geometry, scatter, optimization, scripting, and graphic tools, along with fine-grain control of ray trace properties during simulations. It provides comprehensive post-trace analysis features and reports, real-time visualization and editing of complex optical and mechanical systems, and is highly extensible via user-defined scripts. FRED provides core capabilities for propagating light through optomechanical systems.

About

Vextrify is an all-in-one laser engraving software for makers and laser shops who want more than a single-machine controller. It runs in the browser and as a native macOS and Windows app, and unlike most laser tools it can control several lasers at once from one license. Where LightBurn focuses on one machine at a time and LaserGRBL is Windows-only, Vextrify combines real machine control (GRBL diode and CO2/Ruida - framing, dry-run, live job control) with everything that happens before the burn: photo engraving prep, background removal, contour-to-SVG, vectorizing, AI image prep, and a millimetre-accurate Artboard with camera-on-material alignment. It exports clean files for LightBurn, EZCAD and Ruida.
