Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can I use with my Glowforge Aura?

Glowforge Aura fits material up to 12 in x 12 in (30.4 cm x 30.4 cm) and works with thicker materials than craft cutters — you can cut materials up to ¼ in (0.635 cm) thick and engrave objects up to ¾ in high. It cuts and engraves laser-compatible materials including wood, acrylic, leather, veneer, paper, & cardboard, and also engraves on denim, mylar, rubber, cork, sandpaper, food, stone, slate, titanium, aluminum, marble, ceramic tile, and hundreds more!

Glowforge Aura uses a blue, 6-watt, solid-state laser, so it is not compatible with glass, clear acrylic, white acrylic, blue acrylic, vinyl, or Draftboard®️ materials.

What is the thickest material that Glowforge Aura can cut?

Glowforge Aura can cut materials up to 1/4" thick, and engrave materials up to 3/4" thick with the cutting tray removed.

What is the difference between Glowforge Pro, Plus, and Aura?

All Glowforge printers are quick to set up and easy to use. You can choose to work with hundreds of materials to make the kinds of amazing things that you see on our Community Forum or Instagram. All our printers come with everything you need to get started making magical things at the touch of a button.

If you want to make projects at home like paper greeting cards, personalized signs, or acrylic accessories, then Glowforge Aura is perfect for you. If you're looking for even more speed, power, or the ability to create products for a business, then check out our Performance Series.

Do I need additional software to print with a Glowforge?

No! Every Glowforge laser works with our web-based App, Glowforge Print. You can use your Mac, PC, tablet, or smartphone to access the Glowforge App. To create a print, design a project completely from scratch right in the App — choose from millions of fonts, graphics, pattern tools, stamp-templates, & more! You can also choose thousands of ready-to-print designs from the Glowforge Catalog, and customize them to make your perfect project!

If you prefer, use your favorite software (like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Autodesk 360, Sketchup, and more) to create a project in your favorite file formats like JPG, PNG, SVG, or PDF, then easily drag-and-drop it right into the Glowforge App.

How much space will a Glowforge Aura take up in my home?

The Glowforge Aura is 22 in (W) x 20-½ in (D) x 5 in (H) — or about the size of a large printer.

How easy is it to get started?

It takes less than 30 minutes to get your printer out of the box, set it up, and finish your first print.

How precise is the Glowforge laser?

Glowforge uses a beam of light the width of a human hair to cut and engrave with incredible accuracy to one-thousandth of an inch. It can engrave images in stunning high-resolution comparable to what you see on your phone or computer screen now. Learn more here!
