Re: Aspire with a Laser
Yes I use Aspire as part of my workflow on the laser.
I use Aspire to vectorize and for vector editing. I export the vectors as .EPS for Corel draw then convert to hairline width and assign colors for cutting or engraving.

Yep, have done the same but used DXF to CorelDraw.

Re: Aspire with a Laser
I also use Aspire a lot creating files for my laser.
I don't go the CorelDraw route. Just one unnecessary step for me.
Export as AI and import to LaserCAD (my laser control software)

Re: Aspire with a Laser
My husband has a CNC machine and uses Aspire. We recently purchased a laser. I use CorelDrawx8 for the laser. Is there a way to convert our Aspire files (which I know are 3D) into files I can use on the laser? I'm getting pieces and parts of the answer to this. Please advise.

Model/Export as grayscale bitmap, assuming your laser control software knows how to use grayscale. Kern lasers use grayscale.
