Stop losing LightBurn jobs between customer approval and machine handoff
Commercial-only workflow layer for shops running LightBurn across multiple operators or computers. Keep proofs, versions, job packets, and presets in one place.
Sound familiar?
Every commercial laser shop hits these problems once they grow past one person and one machine.
Missing Fonts & Assets
The job file looks perfect on your design station, but the machine computer is missing fonts, images, or linked assets. You don't find out until the operator hits engrave.
Wrong File Version at the Machine
The operator runs "final_v3_REAL.lbrn2" but the customer approved "final_v2_revised." No one realizes until the parts are cut and the material is wasted.
Remake Costs from Approval Confusion
Customer says they approved a different layout. You can't prove what they signed off on. Eat the cost of the remake or lose the customer.
No Clean Job History
Customer calls back 6 months later wanting "the same thing but bigger." You dig through folders, Slack messages, and email threads to find what you actually ran.
How It Works
Three steps between a finished design and a clean cut.
Import & Package a Job
Upload your .lbrn2 file, linked assets, material presets, and notes into a single job packet. Everything the operator needs, in one place.
Share Proof & Capture Approval
Send a proof link to the customer. They see the preview, leave comments, and approve. You get a timestamped record of exactly what was signed off.
Hand Off a Machine-Ready Packet
Operators pull the approved packet to their machine. Right version, right assets, right settings. No Slack hunting, no USB drives, no guessing.

Commercial-Only Focus
No hobby tier, no distractions. Every feature is built for shops running multiple operators, multiple machines, and real customer jobs with real deadlines.
Annual Founding Cohort
Join a small group of commercial shops shaping the product. Lock in $149/month (vs. $199 standard) and get direct input into what gets built next.
Async, No Training Required
Set it up once. Operators pull job packets when they need them. No onboarding calls, no mandatory training sessions, no disruption to your current workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BeamFlow replace LightBurn?
No. BeamFlow wraps around LightBurn. You still design, preview, and cut in LightBurn. BeamFlow handles everything between customer approval and the machine: packaging jobs, tracking versions, capturing proof approvals, and handing operators a clean packet.
Is this for hobbyists or home shops?
BeamFlow is built exclusively for commercial shops with multiple operators or machines. If you're running one machine in your garage, LightBurn's built-in file management is probably fine. If you're juggling 3+ operators, multiple machines, and customer approvals, that's where things break down.
What's a "Founding Cohort"?
The founding cohort is a small group of commercial laser shops that get early access at a locked-in annual rate ($149/month billed annually vs. $199/month standard). In exchange, you help shape the product by sharing what actually matters in your workflow. Spots are limited.
What file formats do you support?
BeamFlow supports .lbrn and .lbrn2 (LightBurn project files), plus any linked assets your jobs reference: SVGs, PNGs, AI files, PDFs, font files, and more. The goal is to package everything the operator needs so nothing is missing at the machine.
How does pricing work?
Founding cohort: $149/month billed annually ($1,788/year) for up to 5 operators. Standard pricing after founding cohort closes: $199/month. Unlimited jobs, proof links, and version history included in both tiers. No per-job or per-file fees.
