About the TextWeld generator
TextWeld prepares text for the laser: it draws the letters as score lines and adds a welded base so the whole word comes off the machine in one piece — or leaves the letters loose if you prefer them separate.
What you can adjust
Outside or inside measurements, so the box fits the space — or the contents.
Material thickness from presets or a custom value, plus your machine's kerf.
Finger joints or flat, glued edges, with a target tooth width you can change.
A 3D preview you can spin, and a flat cutting plan with every panel named.
How it goes together
“Letters + dots” adds small dots that bridge the letters into a single outline. “Letters only” keeps the letters on the base without the dots. “None” cuts nothing but the letters, so they drop out as individual pieces.
Tips for a clean cut
Score lines cut lightly: reduce power so the letters stay legible and do not cut through. On dark plywoods, score lines read better filled than outlined.
Frequently asked questions
Can I work in inches or centimeters?
Yes. Switch between mm, cm and inches at the top of the panel. Material thickness and kerf are always entered in millimeters.
Which file formats can I download?
SVG, PDF and DXF — all at 1:1 scale, in millimeters. AI files read the SVG or DXF straight into Illustrator.
What does the “Try other dimensions” button do?
It fills in a different set of measurements so you can see how the design changes before you enter your own.
