Does the file import into the Glowforge app?
Yes. It is a standard SVG with real dimensions, so it places at the size you set.
Glowforge name SVGs
Glowforge name files that arrive already welded into one piece
Cursive names fall apart on the Glowforge when the letters are separate shapes. WeldWords connects them before export, keeps letter holes open, and sizes the file in real inches so what you place is what you cut.
Two free words. No software install. SVG and DXF included.
