Cut, fill and engrave
from the browser
Open an SVG or DXF, give each colour its job — cut, fill or mark — with its own power, speed and passes, check it in the simulation, frame it on the material and send it over USB. Nothing to install.
GRBL (M4 / M3) and Marlin lasers · Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari · sending over USB in Chrome and Edge
// What it does
What a laser job needs
Layers by colour
Each colour of the file becomes a layer: cut, fill or mark, with its own power, speed and passes, in one click.
Fill engraving
Scan lines back and forth, crosshatch, overscan; letters keep their holes.
Photo engraving
Jarvis, Stucki, Floyd-Steinberg, Sierra and Atkinson dithering, grayscale or threshold; brightness, contrast, gamma; DPI.
Material test
A grid of powers and speeds, cut through or filled; pick the square you like and use its settings.
Frame and send
Trace the job’s extent with the beam off or a faint dot, then stream it to GRBL over USB with pause, resume and stop.
Shapes and text
Combine, subtract, cut into pieces, edit points, text on a path, serial numbers and dates.
// Machines it speaks to
G-code lasers
GRBL lasers with M4 (dynamic power) or M3, and Marlin lasers with inline power: the power rides on each move as an S word. Lasers that do not read G-code (Ruida and other DSP controllers, galvo machines) are not supported.
// One plan, every machine
Router, plasma and laser in one subscription
The same account and plan cover every machine you have: switch a project from the router to the laser or the plasma table from the top bar. Projects stay in your browser.
