Why Choose Laser Map Maker for Your Laser Engraving & Cutting Projects?

Laser Map Maker is the only platform designed specifically for laser engraving and cutting, tailored to meet the unique needs of this craft. Whether you’re creating intricate designs or large-scale maps, Laser Map Maker offers a suite of powerful tools that make the process easier, faster, and more precise. Here’s why you should choose us:

1. Laser-Specific Tailoring

Laser Map Maker tailors map data exclusively for laser engraving and cutting. For example, some users may want a red outline of roads because their laser is set up to cut red svg paths. We give you the ability to define those line widths and colors in the studio ahead of time.

2. Build and Duplicate Projects Quickly

With our intuitive platform, you can easily build new projects or duplicate existing ones. This flexibility is ideal for creating consistent, repeatable designs. Whether you’re working on multiple copies of a map or iterating on your design, you can save time and effort with just a few clicks.

3. Starter Templates for Fast Results

We offer starter templates that provide you with basic, pre-layered map files. In just minutes, you’ll have the foundational structure for your project, allowing you to focus on customizations rather than starting from scratch. These templates include 3 layers (e.g., background, features, borders) to get you going quickly.

4. Edit Features and Create Custom Layers

The platform allows you to edit features of your map to suit your design needs, whether it’s adding or removing elements, changing the style of features, or adjusting their properties. You can also create and organize layers, putting different features into specific layers for better control. This gives you the flexibility to customize every aspect of your design.

5. Add Borders for Clean Cuts

One of the unique features of Laser Map Maker is the ability to add borders to your cut files. These borders help keep your map’s pieces together after they’ve been cut, preventing them from falling apart or shifting during production. It’s the perfect tool for ensuring your project stays intact throughout the process.

6. Powerful Design Tools

Laser Map Maker offers a wide range of tools to fine-tune your designs. These include:

• Zoom: Get up close for precise adjustments.
• Rotate: Adjust the orientation of your map or elements.
• Search: Quickly find locations or coordinates.
• Aspect Ratio: Maintain proportions or change the aspect ratio.
• Map Shapes: Choose from different map shapes like circles or squares.
• Map Scale: Adjust the scale to increase the maps detail.

7. Export Layers as Separate Files

Once your map is ready, you can export each layer as a separate file. You can choose a variety of export strategies like fill or outline for vector files, ensuring your laser cutter gets the right instructions for each layer. You can also export layers in different file formats such as PNG, EPS, PDF, or SVG, depending on your project’s needs.

8. Preview Each Layer

To ensure everything looks just right, Laser Map Maker lets you preview each layer of your map before exporting. This gives you confidence that your design is as you expect, reducing the chances of errors and saving time during production.

9. Tile Maps for Large Projects

If you’re working with a small laser but need to create a large map, our platform offers an easy way to tile your map. Tiling allows you to break a large design into smaller, manageable pieces that can be cut separately and then assembled, ensuring your design remains intact even with limited laser bed size.
