Cut and Engrave Layers from One Upload

Mark any path from your generated SVG as engrave instead of cut. Lazrit outputs them as separate layers so LightBurn (or any laser software) can assign different power and speed settings. The cut layer cuts through. The engrave layer scores the surface. One upload, both layers, one export.

3 lifetime exports — no credit card.

The problem

Laser jobs that mix cutting and engraving usually mean two files: one for cuts, one for engraves. Lazrit handles them in one file with a clean two-layer SVG output.

How Lazrit handles it

  1. Upload artworkLazrit traces and runs topology on the cut paths.
  2. Mark engrave-layer pathsIn the workspace, click any path to toggle it from cut to engrave. The path moves visually to the engrave layer.
  3. Skip topology for engravesEngrave paths don't separate material, so they're exempt from island detection and bridge logic.
  4. ExportThe SVG has two named layers — 'cut' and 'engrave' — so LightBurn imports them with separate cut settings.

Frequently asked questions

Does Lazrit do photo engraving or halftones?

No. Lazrit's engrave layer is on/off — any path is either cut or engrave. Photo engraving (dithered grayscale burn) is outside our scope; for that, use a tool built for raster engraving.

Can I have multiple engrave layers at different powers?

Currently one cut layer + one engrave layer. LightBurn can split them further by stroke color if you need finer control.

Will the engrave layer respect my power settings?

Lazrit doesn't set laser power — your laser software does. Lazrit just labels the layer; you configure speed and power per layer in LightBurn / xTool / Glowforge.

Can I mark an entire stroke style as engrave?

Yes — bulk-select paths and toggle. The workspace shows your engrave selection in a different color.
