FAQ
How do I prepare an image for laser engraving?▼
Upload your image to VectoSolve and we convert it to a clean SVG with optimized paths for engraving. The AI traces clean outlines and reduces complexity so your laser engraver produces crisp, consistent results on wood, acrylic, leather, or metal.
What is the difference between engraving and cutting?▼
Engraving burns or etches the surface without cutting through the material. Cutting goes all the way through. VectoSolve can prepare files for both — engraving uses filled shapes (raster engraving) or outlines (vector engraving), while cutting uses vector paths.
What laser engravers work with VectoSolve files?▼
All of them! VectoSolve exports SVG and DXF files that work with every laser engraver: Glowforge, xTool (D1, D1 Pro, M1), Epilog, Trotec, Boss Laser, OMTech, Ortur, Snapmaker, Dremel, and more.
What materials can I engrave?▼
Laser engraving works on wood (plywood, bamboo, hardwood), acrylic, leather, anodized aluminum, glass, stone, slate, tile, and coated metals. VectoSolve SVGs work on all materials — adjust your laser power and speed settings per material.
Should I use SVG or DXF for laser engraving?▼
Both work! SVG is more versatile and supported by most modern laser software. DXF is preferred for CNC and some industrial lasers. VectoSolve exports both formats — download whichever your software requires.
Can I engrave photos on wood?▼
Yes! Upload a photo and VectoSolve converts it to a high-contrast vector suitable for photo engraving. For best results on wood, use high-contrast images and consider converting to grayscale first. The AI handles detail optimization automatically.
