Laser min-max power in CAM

Laser min-max power in CAM was created by santy
Hello. How should I manage minimum and maximum power in CAM? What software do you use?
I can use analog to interface with the laser power supply, ok. But how do I control laser power in tight corners and while accelerating to decrease?
I have a fully nested DXF for files, but no viable CAM solution for this yet.
do you guys have any solutions within budget?
this is for a CO2 laser.

Is the laser controlled by LinuxCNC?
What do you want to do with it? Vector or raster?
Why not use LightBurn?

See Inkscape, it is open source, free, and can output gcode directly usable in LinuxCNC.
