Laser Cut Project

A FabForge template for laser cutting projects.

Structure

source/          Design source files (.svg, .ai, .eps)
output/          Cut-ready exports (.dxf, .dwg)
docs/            Photos, material notes, assembly instructions

Getting started

  1. Add your design source files to source/
  2. Export cut-ready files to output/
  3. Link this repo to a FabForge project to track production

Part detection

FabForge auto-detects parts by matching source and output files with the same stem name. For example, source/panel.svg pairs with output/panel.dxf.

Conventions

  • Use separate SVG layers for cut, score, and engrave operations
  • Name files by the part they produce, not the material
  • Include kerf compensation notes in docs/ for each material
