Problem
Creating designs for laser cutters, CNC machines, and Cricuts often requires complex and expensive software, limiting accessibility for hobbyists and small businesses. Existing tools can be difficult to learn and may not offer the flexibility needed for personalized designs. This creates a barrier to entry for those looking to create custom fabrication projects.
Solution
Cuttle is a web-based design tool that simplifies the creation of personalized SVG cut files for digital cutting machines. It offers a user-friendly vector editor with live modifiers, reusable components, and parametric design capabilities, enabling users to rapidly iterate and customize designs. Users can leverage pre-designed templates for various projects, including laser-cut boxes, keychains, cake toppers, and jewelry, or create designs from scratch. The platform also supports scripting, allowing users to create custom modifiers and share them with the community.
Target Audience
Cuttle targets hobbyists, makers, artists, engineers, and small businesses who use digital cutting machines like laser cutters, CNC machines, and Cricuts for creating custom designs and fabrication projects.
