Does LightBurn open these files?
Yes, the DXF uses standard entities and real units.
DXF name generator
Typed names to machine-ready DXF at true size
Most name generators only export SVG, then the size shifts on import. WeldWords exports DXF at real millimetre dimensions with connected letters and separate cut, score, and engrave layers.
Two free words. No software install. SVG and DXF included.

Common DXF headaches
Files import at the wrong scale
Letters arrive as separate unconnected shapes
Score lines vanish after boolean operations
No layer separation for cut, score, and engrave
Open paths that the machine refuses to cut
What you get here
True millimetre or inch dimensions
Letters welded into one closed path
Persistent score lines that survive welding
Separate cut, score, and engrave layers
Batch export with sheet nesting
How it works
From typed words to a cut-ready file
Everything stays editable until you export, so one-off fixes never mean starting over.
