How to Use
Upload SVG
Upload your laser cutting design.
Assign cut/engrave layers
Mark paths as cut or engrave; each gets a separate DXF layer colour.
Download and import
Download and import into LightBurn or RDWorks.
SVG to DXF for Laser Cutting
Laser cutting software (LightBurn, RDWorks, LaserCad) imports DXF files and uses layer colours to assign cut speed, power, and operation type. This tool converts your SVG and automatically assigns paths to colour-coded layers based on your cut/engrave designations.
Real-World Examples & Use Cases
