Without CutVault
With CutVault Pro
One proven preset. As many new designs as you need.
Take settings you've already saved for a material and machine and use them again with completely different artwork. You don't have to rebuild the job setup every time you make a variation, another product or a new design.
Pick the artwork. CutVault handles the setup.
Search your library visually or choose another compatible file from your computer. Cut, score and engraving presets work with SVG or DXF artwork, while Image Engrave presets can use PNG.
Check the job before anything gets created.
Review the material, machine, operation, speed, power, passes, artwork and real size together before CutVault creates the new file.
CutVault can also warn you when something in the artwork needs attention before the file is created.
Check first. Create second.Nothing is created until you confirm.If the artwork isn't right, choose different artwork and check again.
Create the file for the software you actually use.
CutVault creates a ready-to-run LightBurn or xTool Studio file for the machine on your preset, keeps it with the design in your library, and opens it in your laser software.
Each new file gets a clear name, so the job stays easy to recognize later.
