The graphic design software for the laser. For a seamless workflow.
Create graphic, photo and text elements. Adjustments can be made quickly with the integrated workflow. Switch between the "design" and "prepare" steps at any time in one software that is both a graphics and laser program. With all graphic tools the laser user needs. The laser software Ruby allows direct file import from pdf, svg, png etc. When importing, faulty files are automatically cleaned. These functionalities reduce the time from the idea to the finished product to half of it. No costs for additional software packages.
Connected working. Multiple lasers, infinite number of users, one web-based platform.
Trotec Ruby connects all your laser machines in a network, locally or in the cloud. Jobs can be distributed to multiple machines from a PC or Mac. Jobs are loaded onto the laser machine's integrated memory and processed without an additional PC. Thanks to the new workflow, jobs can be prepared by one user and produced by another at any time and from anywhere. Ruby breaks new ground with this integrated, splitable workflow, different roles and rights in user management. Complete automation of business processes is possible with the open programming interface - the Ruby API.
A user interface that delights.
The Trotec Ruby laser software accompanies the user from the idea to the finished product. The seamless workflow starts with the design and continues through preparation and production. Self-explanatory. An integrated guide provides additional tips if required. The training effort is minimal. The cloud-based material database guarantees the best laser results. The user selects the material and material effects such as deep engraving, dark engraving or kiss cut right from the start. Trotec Ruby provides the right material parameters.
All processing steps for laser users are integrated into one software platform. The integrated workflow will demonstrate the process in a step by step guide, from the job concept - to the finished product. The advantage of the split workflow: Graphic, laser-related job preparation and laser operation can be performed by different people.
