What this workflow creates
Convert an image or text into vector artwork for laser engraving or cutting. This run creates one visual preview. Data calculations, precise typesetting, vectors, and production files still require verification in the appropriate tools.
- Who it’s for
- Maker, Gift Shop, Manufacturer
- What it does
- Black and white, vector conversion, welding path and text conversion
- Where to use it
- Wooden board, acrylic, metal engraving and cutting
This run creates one visual preview. Data calculations, precise typesetting, vectors, and production files still require verification in the appropriate tools.
What you need
- Picture or logo to be engraved/cutOptional · 0 or 1 item
- Provide core outlines, holes, required connected structures and glyphs that need to be retained.
When to provide it: When the task includes graphics rather than text only
- Processing methods, materials and machine constraintsRequired · 1 item
- Choose between engraving or cutting and provide materials, finished range, minimal details and joining capabilities.
- Text and letterforms to processRequired when applicable · 1 item
- Provides accurate text and convertible glyph assets.
When to provide it: When the task includes text
Provide every required input. Add optional inputs only when useful, and mark conditional inputs as applicable only when they apply to this request.
How to use this workflow
Open the generation form
Select “Use this workflow” to see the required inputs. You’ll need to sign in before generating.
Add the required inputs
Prepare: Pictures or logos that can be engraved/cut (0 or 1) + required processing methods, materials and machine constraints (one set) + conditions requiring processing of text and glyphs (one set). Complete every required field, add optional inputs only when useful, and mark each conditional input as applicable or not applicable.
Review text and output settings
Check “Processing methods, materials and machine constraints” for accuracy, then choose the aspect ratio, resolution, and quality that fit this use case. The generation form shows the available options.
Generate and review
Select “Generate image,” then review the result and open the full-size image. Check it against the detailed requirements below. This run creates one visual preview. Data calculations, precise typesetting, vectors, and production files still require verification in the appropriate tools.
Do I need to write a prompt?
No full prompt needed—just complete the required text fields.
Complete “Processing methods, materials and machine constraints” to describe what this request should contain or create. “Text and letterforms to process” can be entered as exact text or data, or supplied as images. The checklist below shows which fields are required. You do not need to write generation instructions. Use the form fields to provide the images, exact copy, data, or description requested by this workflow.
Detailed result requirements
Pictures or logos that can be engraved/cut (0 or 1) + required processing methods, materials and machine constraints (one set) + conditions requiring processing of text and glyphs (one set)
High contrast pictures, logos or text, as well as materials and processing dimensions.
No universal public standard is available. Check the requirements of the platform or service you will use.
Set the output canvas from the selected platform placement or production template, not from a reference image. Choose the target aspect ratio before generation; do not default to 1:1. Use a custom ratio only when the actual placement or production template requires it. The aspect ratio for laser-production file must follow the selected platform, device, finished format, or production template. If no target ratio is provided, request it before generation; never infer it from a reference image. Create one aspect-ratio-specific deliverable per request; generate each additional placement as a separate output. Recompose for the selected ratio while preserving the complete subject, all text, and every required safe area. Never stretch the subject or treat cropping important content as adaptation.
Closed contours and necessary connecting bridges.
Black and white, convert paths, weld overlap, delete white/excess colors, and convert text.
