Utilities for getting student work onto a laser cutter.
Students upload SVGs to a class link. Pack them onto a sheet, download SVG or DXF with Cut and Engrave layers.
Sign in to create a class →Convert a JPG, PNG, or BMP into a 1-bit black-and-white BMP for laser engraving. Threshold, dither, brightness, and contrast — all in your browser.
Open engrave tool →Type in W × D × H and material thickness, get a 6-panel finger-jointed box ready to laser cut. Download as SVG or DXF.
Open box maker →Generate a small calibration sheet — a caliper square plus a fit ladder of stepped tabs. Cut once, measure, dial in your laser's actual kerf for press-fit joints.
Open kerf tester →Generate a slit pattern that lets flat ply or acrylic bend around a curve. Tune cut length, link width, and row spacing for your material — download SVG or DXF.
Open living hinge →Type text, pick a font, get a cut/engrave-ready outlined SVG or DXF. Skip the Illustrator/Inkscape detour and the font-installation step on the school machines.
Open text tool →Parametric involute spur gear — set teeth, module, pressure angle, and bore; download SVG or DXF ready to cut. Pitch-circle overlay makes laying out meshing pairs easy.
Open gear generator →Pack multiple STLs onto a print bed and download a single combined STL. Students can upload to a class link too — pack everyone's prints in one job.
Open STL packer →Slice an STL into horizontal cross-sections at your material thickness, pack the layers onto sheets, and download SVG/DXF ready to cut. Labelled layers so you can glue the stack in order.
Open STL slicer →
