Precision SVG editor for laser cutting and engraving
Draw in physical units, apply CAD-style driving dimensions, and export SVG files from a browser workspace built for makers who care about fit, scale, and clean vectors.
SVG export is free and never watermarked, on any tier. A vector watermark can become machine geometry — a laser reads it as a path and cuts it — so cut-ready files never carry one.
Start with a calibration strip
The first maker asset is a simple kerf calibration SVG: labeled slots from 2.8mm to 3.4mm for checking real material fit before committing a full box or enclosure.
Built around the jobs that ruin cut jobs
Scale, material fit, and SVG cleanup are handled before the file reaches LightBurn, Glowforge, xTool Creative Space, Cricut Design Space, or a plotter workflow.
Driving dimensions for material fit
Type values like 3.2mm or 0.125in while sizing slots, holes, and panels. Dimensioned sketches make it easier to adjust a design when the plywood batch is not exactly nominal.
Clean export, clearly limited
Use the browser editor free — SVG export is never watermarked. Pro unlocks high-resolution PNG and true-vector PDF.
Know the output size first
When you export raster output, Anchorsmith shows exact output pixel dimensions before writing the file. No pixel-size guesswork, no export-and-check loop.
Cut-ready claims stay tied to the actual export tier
The free editor is useful for trying the workflow and producing one clean SVG each month. If you are preparing production batches, Pro is the path for unlimited clean SVG, PNG, and PDF output. That distinction matters for laser and plotter users because a watermark in a vector file can become geometry on the workpiece.
