About GRBL Server
A short, honest note about who is behind the project and where it's going.
Hi, I'm George Domingo Herrezuelo.
I built GRBL Server to simplify modular GRBL laser engraving workflows, especially for multi-engraver and reusable batch setups. The project started from real workshop frustration: spending more time re-arranging files, copying settings, and switching between sender apps than actually producing anything.
GRBL Server isn't a design application like LightBurn, and it isn't a single-machine sender like LaserGRBL. It's the layer in between: the part that takes a workflow you've defined once and runs it across files, materials, and GRBL laser engravers on your local network.
What I'm focused on right now
- Keeping the core workflow engine simple, fast, and reliable.
- Smoothing the rough edges in the workflow editor.
- Listening to beta users about real production needs, not feature-list bingo.
What I'm not building
- A social network or forum.
- A heavy cloud platform.
- Promises about general CNC machining support or every controller firmware that exists. Today the focus is GRBL-based laser engravers over serial and GRBL32/ESP32 over WebSocket.
How beta works
While the project is in beta, GRBL Server is free for everyone. If you create an account now, you keep a permanently discounted plan when paid plans go live. The point of beta isn't to lock you in — it's to find out what doesn't work yet, and fix it together.
