At this time, the Vectric Laser Module is not currently compatible with NextWave systems, so it is not recommended to purchase the Laser Module for use with a NextWave CNC machine. However, Next Wave is actively testing new configurations, and compatibility is expected in a future update.
In the meantime, NextWave provides proprietary software called Ready2Laser, included with all Shark systems, which allows you to perform photo engraving and other laser functions efficiently. They also offer guidance on using the Quick Engrave toolpath in Vectric software to achieve simple cutout or engraving effects with your laser.
