Overview Manage Your CNC and Laser Projects Smarter, Faster, Anywhere The Genmitsu App is an all-in-one control and creation platform designed for GRBL CNC routers and Genmitsu laser machines. It connects seamlessly to your machines via Wi-Fi and provides an intuitive, purpose-built experience for makers, creators, and CNC enthusiasts, allowing you to focus on carving and engraving rather than setup and troubleshooting. With continuous enhancements up to version 2.4, the Genmitsu App integrates design, editing, and machine control into a streamlined workflow, giving you greater flexibility and control over your CNC carving and laser engraving projects. ———— Key Features Effortless Connectivity Connect to your CNC router or laser machine directly over Wi-Fi without the need for login credentials. Start managing carving and engraving tasks instantly from your device. Simplified Network Setup A fast three-step wireless configuration process allows you to connect your laser machine easily and begin engraving in just minutes. Intuitive Control Interface The app features a clean, user-friendly interface optimized for CNC and laser operations. Easily manage essential functions such as probe settings, feed rate adjustments, zeroing, and axis control with confidence. ———— Laser Engraving Features Convenient File Re-Editing Edit your design files anytime and save them for future engraving or carving sessions, enabling a more flexible and efficient workflow. Advanced Image Processing Supports multiple image processing modes, including image editing and one-click generation of barcodes and QR codes, expanding creative possibilities. Vector Path Generation Generate vector paths from bitmap and sketch images to enhance precision and unlock more advanced design capabilities. Real-Time Monitoring Monitor carving and engraving tasks in real time with live updates on coordinates, progress, and task status, ensuring full visibility throughout the operation. Quick Image Upload Upload images directly from your phone’s camera or photo gallery. Multiple image formats are supported, including PNG, JPG, and BMP. ———— Continuously Improved Experience With ongoing updates through version 2.4, the Genmitsu App continues to improve performance, usability, and stability, delivering a smoother and more powerful experience for CNC carving and laser engraving users.

About

Laser Mark Simulator

Read full description

Laser Mark Simulator is a calibration aid for fiber laser color marking on stainless steel and titanium. It does not predict color — it computes the physics you can compute, narrows the search space, and keeps a record of what you actually observed. WHAT IT COMPUTES • Fluence F, spot overlap OL_x / OL_y, pulse count N and cumulative dose energy • Regime classification: oxidation, melting or ablation, from the fluence you set • MOPA and Q-switched behavior modeled separately — on Q-switched sources pulse width is derived from frequency, not entered • Effective average power capped by the rated frequency curve, so you see the drop below rating instead of discovering it on the part BEFORE YOU BURN A SPECIMEN • Small-character feasibility: stroke width against spot diameter and hatch lines per stroke, with a verdict and the reason behind it • Character heat distribution rendered from real glyph outlines and scanlines — relative energy, clearly labeled as such • Galvo delay starting values and an adjustment direction, not a claimed optimum • Throughput and heat build-up per part, with a recommended cycle interval CALIBRATION LOOP • Generate a primary test matrix over frequency and speed, with randomized marking order so heat accumulation shows up instead of hiding in a gradient • Record each cell with a 12-color label and a uniformity rating; only the index is marked on the specimen, parameters come from the CSV • Promote a promising cell into a secondary matrix at three power levels • Optional camera capture with an 18% gray patch for white balance, giving CIE Lab values and CIEDE2000 deltas against a reference cell RECIPES • Save a validated cell as a recipe; promotion to validated requires reproduction across two different material lots • Export EzCad pen parameters and matrix CSV • Convert a recipe to another lens focal length, with the metrics preserved and revalidation flagged • Changing a machine's source type invalidates its recipes rather than silently reinterpreting them SAFETY This app assists calibration. It provides no unattended-operation feature. Class 4 shielding, 1064 nm eyewear and fume extraction remain your responsibility, and every parameter must be verified by an actual test before production use. The calculation engine is free with no restrictions and carries no advertising. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited test matrices with EzCad export, cell photo color records and the recipe library.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Genmitsu at none against Laser Mark Simulator's 1. Genmitsu also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
