Why is laser software Ruby® the best for education?

Education industry need tools that prepare students for the future — not ones that create more work for teachers and IT staff. Ruby®, developed by Trotec Laser, is the laser software built specifically for education. With unlimited users, zero license fees, and browser-based access on any device, it delivers real-world digital fabrication skills without the complexity.

Ruby® provides browser access, multi-user collaboration, and scalable deployment for education environments.

• Enables access via browser → students use any device (Chromebook, laptop, tablet)
• Supports multi-user workflows → classes run parallel projects
• Removes license limits → schools add unlimited users
• Scales across programs → supports STEAM, VET, and higher education
• Secures cloud environments → IT teams maintain control
• Aligns with Industry 4.0 → students learn modern production logic

These benefits support institutional efficiency. The next section focuses on schools.

Ruby® supports schools by reducing IT overhead, eliminating license costs, and enabling scalable laser workflows.

• Eliminates ongoing fees → institutions reduce total cost of ownership
• Simplifies IT setup → browser-based system avoids installation conflicts
• Integrates with LMS → schools connect Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox
• Supports BYOD models → students use personal devices
• Aligns with curriculum → STEM, digital design, engineering programs benefit
• Strengthens reputation → schools demonstrate digital leadership

Schools gain infrastructure efficiency. The next section explains teacher benefits.

Ruby® gives teachers more time for teaching with easy-to-manage laser workflows, multi-user queues, and curriculum-aligned digital learning tools. As the only laser software built for schools, Ruby® removes complexity from classroom laser use, letting teachers focus on outcomes instead of IT. 

Key benefits for teachers: 

• Unified design, job prep, and machine control - no need for third-party tools
• Multi-user queuing and remote job previews
• Curriculum-aligned for design, STEM, textiles, and business classes
• Role-based permissions to protect setting
• Easy onboarding and reduced IT burden 

Students learn creativity, digital design, and industry-ready workflows with Ruby® - the intuitive laser software for education powering STEM and VET learning. 

Ruby® gives students direct access to an industry-standard digital manufacturing environment. Its intuitive interface is simple enough for beginners yet powerful enough for advanced learners, making it an ideal platform for building confidence, creativity, and career-ready skills. 

Key benefits for students: 

• Hands-on experience with industry-relevant software
• CAD/CAM literacy and workflow automation
• Exposure to data-driven design and diagnostics
• Encourages experimentation and creativity
• Produces portfolio-ready projects for folios, college, or university applications
• Introduces Industry 4.0 skills like automation and smart production 

Employers value Ruby® graduates because they understand design-to-production workflows and digital fabrication systems.

• Demonstrates software familiarity → graduates adapt faster to workplaces
• Applies problem-solving → students complete project-based tasks
• Transfers skills → manufacturing, product design, e-commerce
