Camera
Set up the workspace camera so you can place jobs visually.
A workspace camera turns "measure twice, cut once" into "drag the job onto the picture, click run." Setup is a one-time process; the payoff is every job after.
In this section
- Calibrate the camera: correct lens distortion.
- Align the overlay: map the camera image to workspace coordinates.
- Background capture: lift a still image of the bed for offline layout.
- Head-mounted camera: when the camera moves with the laser head.
Order
- Physically install the camera (Hardware Setup section).
- Calibrate the lens.
- Align the overlay to the workspace.
- (Optional) Capture a background if you want a still reference image.
After step 3 you can place jobs visually on the camera image.
