It is not important which colours you use, just that you can see a clear difference between them. When you upload your file, you should choose what to do with the different line colours in your file. In order for us to know which lines you want to be cut and engraved, and which lines should be ignored, it is important to give them each a different colour. Therefore, you should ensure you cut away any excess lines away before uploading. The laser will see and cut the lines, even though they are covered. Notice how a square with white fill colour has been used to visually cover the lines. Therefore, you should always check the “raw” lines before saving the file. The laser cuts the lines you have made, and ignores any visual effects you may have added on top. Finally, an outline without fill is added, and your vector file is ready for cutting. Instead of a circle with an outline thickness, we now have a ring. Mark the object and select Path > Stroke to Path. It is meant to be cut like a ring and not as a circle, and so it has to be extended. Here we have drawn a circle outline of 10pt and no fill. If you have made a design where you would like your outline cut as a shape and not as a line, you must first expand it with Inkscape’s “Stroke to Path” function.
The laser cannot read the thickness of lines and therefore will not distinguish between a thick one and a thin one. You now have editable vector lines that the laser can understand.
Select the text you would like to convert to vector. If you want text to be cut, it has to be converted into lines first. However, please be aware that not all materials are available in all sizes. Send us a mail to ( ), and we will work it out together. We can cut in sheets up to 3200 x 2200 mm. If you can keep your drawing within these sizes, you have plenty of different options for working with our materials.ĭon’t worry, we can still work with designs that are bigger than our standard sizes.
Unfortunately, you cannot use pictures and text documents. Your file needs to contain vector-based graphics and should be saved as a PDF.
