SVG or DXF for xTool?
SVG is the simplest for most xTool jobs. DXF is useful when you want plain outlines with no styling at all.
xTool name files
Name files for xTool that import as one welded piece
xTool Creative Space cuts what the file tells it to cut. If the letters are still separate shapes, the name falls apart on the bed. WeldWords welds the lettering into one continuous outline, keeps the holes in a, e and o, and writes the file in true millimetres so it opens at the size you set.
Two free Production Exports. No software install. SVG and DXF included.

What usually goes wrong
Script letters cut as loose pieces that scatter on the bed
Counters in a, e and o cut out as separate islands
The design rescales on import and the finished size is wrong
Rebuilding the same layout for every customer name
Text-to-path conversion leaves overlapping double cut lines
What WeldWords does instead
Letters are welded into one continuous cut path before export
Counters stay as holes and dots stay attached
True millimetre or inch sizing that survives import
Optional keychain, hanging, or mounting holes
Paste a full order list and export nested sheets
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.
- 01
Type or paste the names
One name, or a whole order list pasted one per line.
- 02
Choose the lettering
Browse 2,000+ script, Roman, and display fonts, or upload your own font file.
- 03
Set the real finished size
Enter height or width in millimetres or inches so the cut matches your material plan.

Export for xTool
Download SVG or DXF and import it straight into xTool Creative Space.
Common questions
Does it keep my size on import?
Files are written in real units, so the design opens at the dimensions you set instead of an arbitrary scale.
Can I add score lines instead of hidden welds?
Yes, you can export a score-line version alongside the cut outline.
