Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats does The Fabricator export?

Strict black-and-white 1-bit PNG for direct laser pathing, plus a traced vector SVG via the AI Vector Artist in Image Lab. Both import cleanly into LightBurn and EZCAD with no manual cleanup.

Do I need design experience to use The Fabricator?

No. Upload a photo or surface image, paint a mask over the area you want filled, pick a Style DNA reference, and generate. The AI handles the artwork — no vector or Photoshop skills required.

Which laser types does The Fabricator support?

Output is optimized for CO2, fiber, and diode laser engravers. The strict 1-bit contrast and clean vector paths are built for direct pathing on any of these machine types.

How many credits does a Fabricator generation cost?

Cost varies by engine tier — the Spark, Forge, Ultra, and Master generation engines run 2–10 credits per generation (SPARK 2, FORGE 4, ULTRA 8, MASTER 10). A failed run refunds automatically — the refund appears in your credit ledger within a minute.
