Local-first laser preparation

Measure first.
Cut with intent.

Inspect artwork, prove its physical size, calibrate real kerf, build a repeatable job, and continue in the offline KerfCanvas desktop app when a machine is involved.

One continuous workflow

From uncertain file to verified package

KerfCanvas keeps physical units, operation intent, measured profiles, warnings, and recipe evidence together—so every next step knows what the previous step changed.

01 / INSPECT

Know the file

Resolve units, dimensions, layers, open paths, duplicate cuts, fonts, and unsupported features.

02 / CALIBRATE

Know the material

Measure kerf, focus, interval, and fit for this machine, lens, material, and batch.

03 / PREPARE

Build the job

Generate, engrave, nest, order, simulate, and preserve every decision in a reusable recipe.

04 / HANDOFF

Run locally

Export a portable package or review it in Desktop before any physical machine action.

A hard safety boundary

The website prepares. Desktop controls.

Browser tools never connect to, jog, frame, fire, start, pause, resume, or reset a laser. KerfCanvas Desktop repeats profile validation and preflight before supervised machine output.
