Prepare your production file
Reference on scale, line colors, engraving, text, layout, and control after upload.
Drawing rules for laser cutting
Check format, scale, vector lines, text, shapes, and images before uploading.
Create or export a vector file
Which programs you can use and what to consider when exporting.
Cutting, line engraving, and surface engraving: what's the difference?
Cutting goes through the material, line engraving follows a line, and surface engraving fills a shape. See which process suits the result you want to create.
Ontwerp controleren
Fits and tolerances
When making connections and selecting suitable parts, consider the material, cutting width, and desired clearance.
Clever component arrangement
Arrange shapes compactly and utilize free space when components can be placed in or closer to each other.
Smart design for a cost-effective outcome
Reduce unnecessary lines, material usage, and laser time without losing the functionality of your design.
Finger, click, and press connections
Design connections based on material behavior and test the fit before ordering a full series.
Designing tabs in a cut line
Leave small parts in the sheet temporarily for transport, storage or as a construction kit.
Smart design of flat engravings
Use closed vector shapes, limit unnecessary details, and keep the engraving logical and cohesive.
Engraving a QR code that scans reliably
Use a vector code with a clear margin and sufficient contrast. Test the physical engraving on the selected material at the intended...
Laser cutting small letters without fragile details
Inspect letters at actual size, keep thin sections strong enough and decide what happens to loose internal pieces.
Preparing a wall logo for laser cutting
Choose separate letters or a logo on a backing sheet, decide the viewing distance and plan its position on the wall.
Designing rubber gaskets for laser cutting
Draw inner and outer contours and bolt holes for the actual connection. Choose rubber for its use and check the fit with...
Designing a reusable paint stencil
Design both the openings and the material between them. Connect loose internal shapes and add useful alignment points.
Making a stencil from Mylar film
Mylar is a thin, flexible stencil film. Keep internal shapes attached with bridges and design how the stencil will be positioned.
Designing holes and slots for laser cutting
Design openings for the actual components, leave enough material around their edges and test critical fits in your chosen material.
Building a 3D model from laser-cut layers
Build a three-dimensional model made of laser cut layers and check layer construction, alignment, assembly and fitting with a test part.
Designing Front Panels and Enclosure Parts
Design front panels and enclosure parts from real component sizes, fixed reference points and an appropriate test part.
Laser cutting small details: what should you consider?
Small holes and narrow connections are affected by kerf, thickness and material. Make the finest parts of your design physically usable.
Designing a foam inlay that truly fits
From product contour and finger recess to layer structure and test piece: this is how you design a usable foam inlay.
