CutGear Studio resource
Laser Cut Gear Generator
Use CutGear Studio to make SVG and DXF gear files for laser cutting projects on xTool, Glowforge, LightBurn, diode lasers, and CO2 laser workflows.
What you can make
- Laser-cut spur gear pairs for plywood, acrylic, and maker projects.
- Rack and pinion layouts for linear motion prototypes.
- Internal gear, planetary gear, and chain sprocket layouts for mechanical experiments.
Export formats
- SVG files for browser-based layout, LightBurn, Glowforge, xTool, and vector design workflows.
- DXF files for CAD/CAM handoff, shop drawings, and cut-ready project preparation.
- STL export is available in the app for gear types and settings that support 3D output.
How it works
- 1Choose a gear type such as spur, rack and pinion, internal gear, planetary gear set, or chain sprocket.
- 2Adjust teeth, module, bore, thickness, kerf-aware fit choices, and project details.
- 3Export SVG or DXF files and test-cut your material before final assembly.
FAQ
Can I use the files with LightBurn?
Yes. SVG and DXF exports are intended for laser cutting workflows, including LightBurn and similar layout tools.
Does it work for plywood and acrylic?
Yes. You can tune gear size, bore, thickness, and cutout settings for plywood, acrylic, and other maker materials.
Can I make more than spur gears?
Yes. CutGear Studio includes spur, rack and pinion, internal gear, planetary gear set, and chain sprocket generators.
