DESIGN GUIDE

Creating a laser cutting design with our configurator is simple and intuitive! If you have any doubts, in this guide you will find all the answers!

AVAILABLE LASER PROCESSING

Through our configurator you can select three different laser processing options: cutting, area engraving and linear engraving. Below are examples of the various processes. Take a look and discover our wide range of materials.

CUT

The laser cuts along the drawn line.

AREA ENGRAVING

The laser marks the entire drawn area.

LINEAR ENGRAVING

The laser engraves along the drawn line.

 

HOW TO USE THE CONFIGURATOR

Using our configurator is very simple! You will only have to create a victorial file by setting different colors for the lines or areas of your design that you can subsequently associate with the various types of processing through our configurator. 

The thickness you give to the path is not influential. The thickness of the cut and the linear incision is always ± 0.2 mm.

1. CREATE DESIGN 

Make your own design with any vector graphics program. If you don't have one, there are also free ones like InkScape (for vector drawing) or QCad (for technical drawing). Use different colors: for each color you can then associate through our configurator a type of laser processing of your choice.

Save the file in one of these formats: SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, DXF or DWG.

2. LOAD THE DESIGN IN THE CONFIGURATOR

After finishing your design upload your file from the "Upload Design" page: www.cutclaws.com/upload-file-laser-cut/

3. SELECT MATERIAL

Choose the material you want to use from the many options available and remember to select the thickness.

4. DIMENSIONS

Check if the total dimensions in millimeters correspond to the desired ones, otherwise you can change them in the configurator by inserting the dimensions of your choice.
Even if you change the dimensions, I remain proportional, so your design will retain its original appearance and will not be deformed.

5. PROCESSING

Associate with each color of your design a laser processing between cutting, linear engraving or area engraving. If through the preview you notice that there are lines / colors that are not part of the project (for example notes or guidelines), you can simply ignore them by selecting "ignore". These lines will disappear from the preview and will not be considered in the processing phase.

For wooden materials, you can also select the anti-burn film which avoids the burning halo created by the laser along the cuts.

6. QUANTITY

Indicates the quantity of products to be made and discover ours quantity discounts directly in the configurator. You can get up to 80% discount!

7. SHIPPING AND CART

You can choose between 3 different processing times that will be proposed to you in the configurator depending on the type of processing and the quantities selected. If you need to receive the product as soon as possible, you can choose one of the quickest options with a small surcharge.

We are almost there! Check carefully all your choices, add to cart and buy by selecting your preferred payment method.

Now you just have to wait for your fantastic laser creation to arrive at your home (or wherever you want)!
