TextWeld

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.
