Laser Generator Studio

Laser Generator Studio

Laser cutting and engraving tools

Laser Generator Studio has 53 studios that turn a few settings into a file your laser can cut or engrave. They run in the browser, so there is nothing to install, and you can try every one before you pay for anything.

Each studio does one job well: a finger-jointed box sized to your material, a layered map of a real place, a leather wallet whose stitch holes line up, a test card that tells you what power and speed to use. The pages below explain what each tool makes, which settings matter and how to get the file into LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge or a GRBL machine.

Tool guides

Start here if you know what you want to make. Each guide explains the tool and opens it in the app with one click.

Laser Cut Box GeneratorFinger-jointed boxes sized to your real material thickness and kerf, with lids, dividers, handles and labels. Check the fit in 3D, then export every panel for your laser.Laser Test Card GeneratorPower × speed material test grids, line-interval cards and a kerf and joint-fit comb. Every cell runs its own setting, so one card shows you the right numbers for a new material.Photo Engraving GeneratorTurn a photo into a laser-ready engraving: material presets, brightness, contrast and gamma, six dithering styles, and a PNG that imports at the right size.Tumbler Wrap Generator for Laser EngravingName, monogram and full-wrap pattern designs for tumblers, mugs, glasses and bottles at the exact circumference. Tapered cups are pre-warped, and the rotary setup tab tells you what to type into your software.Laser Kerf Calculator and TestCut a small test, measure it with calipers and type in the number. The Calibration Center works out your kerf and saves it, ready for boxes, inlays and press-fit parts. Free to use.Laser Leather Pattern GeneratorOver 300 leather goods in 13 categories, from hat patches and wallets to belts, collars and knife sheaths.

How the tools work

You pick a studio, set the size, material thickness and options, and watch the preview update. When it looks right, the export dialog writes the file in the format your machine wants. Every studio exports real millimetres, so a 150 mm piece imports at 150 mm. Most also give you a 3D or stacked preview so you can check how the parts go together before you burn any material.

Exports use the colour conventions laser software expects: cut lines in one colour, scores in another, engraving as filled shapes. With the LightBurn and xTool presets each operation lands on its own layer, so you only have to set power and speed once per layer.

Free to try, simple to pay for

Every new account can try every generator once for free, with no card. After that it is $1 per export, or a monthly plan from $4.99 that includes every studio. The price calculator, the calibration center and the machine settings pages are free to use.
