How to Use

  1. Enter your text (a name, shop name, short message, etc.), set the letter height and plate margin.
  2. Click "Generate Drawing" to see the result in the preview.
  3. Download as SVG or DXF and import into your laser cutting software (LightBurn, CorelDraw, Illustrator, etc.).
  4. The drawing contains a backing plate (rectangle) and letters as separate cut pieces. Cut both, then glue the letters onto the backing plate — use a contrasting color or material if you like.
  5. The "Add hanging hole" option adds a small hole near the top of the plate for a keyring or hook.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I assemble the letters?

Cut the letters and the backing plate separately, then glue the letters onto the plate. Use a contrasting color or material for extra visual contrast if you like.

Are the letter counters (holes in O, A, etc.) a problem?

No, those holes are cut correctly as part of the letter's own outline — no extra step needed.

What's the hanging hole option?

It adds a small hole near the top of the backing plate so you can hang it with a keyring or hook. Optional.
