SVG Mastery

Laser-safe SVG paths for Glowforge, xTool, and Cricut.

01Watch how MakerMint Magic generates laser-safe SVG paths.

02Open the SVG Designer and describe the cut: 'layered mandala coaster, 4 inch, single closed path outline'.

03MakerMint Vector Engine™ closes every path, removes duplicate nodes, and separates cut lines from engrave fills.

04Preview the file in cut mode. Red is cut, gray is engrave. If you want engraving removed, say 'cut lines only'.

05Download the SVG and import it into Lightburn, xTool Creative Space, or Design Space — scale to your material and run your usual settings.

06One rule: always confirm real-world size after import. Software defaults can rescale artwork.

Key takeaways

  • Closed paths only — no open vectors
  • Cut and engrave layers stay separated
  • Confirm size after importing to your machine
