Latest Improvements

We've upgraded the AI image generation behind Magic Canvas. You can now create designs that are sharper, more polished, and delightfully true to your prompt.

What you'll see:

• Strong prompt accuracy Multi-part ideas — "a fox reading a book by a window with falling leaves" — come back as coherent, unified compositions.

• More detail across every Art Style Finer line work and richer compositions throughout.

• True to your prompt Designs reflect what you typed, with the elements and feel you described.

You don't need to do anything to turn it on — Glowforge Premium subscribers can click on Magic Canvas in the Glowforge app, and your next design will be created using the latest model.

Same Glowforge. Same magic. Half the price.

Certified Rebuilt Glowforge are factory-restored Performance Series machines at 50% off, backed by a 90-day manufacturer's guarantee. It's the same Glowforge experience for thousands less.

Every Certified Rebuilt Glowforge is inspected, repaired, and tested to meet the exact same standard as new. Each unit goes through a rigorous, multi-stage process:

• 65-point inspection against factory specifications
• Genuine Glowforge components including optics, belts, and electronics
• Laser calibration to the same tolerances as a brand-new unit
• Quality testing with real materials - if it doesn't perform like new, it doesn't ship
• Cleaned, polished, and packaged so your first project is minutes away

These units are thoroughly cleaned, but may show minor cosmetic signs of prior use. Functionally, you can expect the exact same performance, features, and behavior as a brand-new unit.

Every order also includes a Proofgrade starter pack of wood, acrylic, and leather, plus the exhaust hose, power cable, crumb tray, and all the accessories you need to start creating. You'll get the same access to the Glowforge web app, design catalog, support, and community as a new owner.

We've always believed in empowering creators. Starting today, Glowforge Premium is available to everyone with a laser cutter - not just Glowforge owners.

Glowforge owners continue to get access to exclusive hardware integrations like trace with camera, . And subscribers with every laser get access to AI Magic Canvas, the design tools and Catalog you already know and love. Designs created in Glowforge Premium can be opened in any laser software. This bigger community means more Catalog designs, more shared projects, and more ways we can make the tools better for everyone.

Design View Premium subscribers can now switch to a new Design View - a clean canvas for editing your designs. It's great for when you want to focus purely on layout and design work. You can choose your canvas size from the Machine drop down menu in the app.

Smartfit: Pack into a selected area Smartfit just got more precise for Premium subscribers. You can now select a specific area on your workspace and pack your shapes into it, rather than auto-fitting to the entire canvas. This makes it easier to nest pieces exactly where you want them, especially handy when you're working with scraps or using up a specific section of material.

Export: New file formats As part of opening Premium to all laser owners, we've added Lightburn and xTool Creative Space export formats alongside SVG for Premium subscribers. Many laser owners already rely on these tools to drive their machines, and now they can create designs in Glowforge Premium and seamlessly bring them into the software they're already using to print.

We’re rolling out a new tool in the Glowforge app: Box Builder. Quickly create perfectly fitted, finger‑jointed boxes by telling the app what you’re making and choosing your material. Box Builder handles kerf and layout, generating a cut‑ready design you can insert into your workspace.

We are rolling out an update to a Premium tool in the Glowforge app: With Combine, now subtract, divide, or intersect multiple shapes in addition to joining them.

This feature can be used when you have two or more vector shapes selected.

To give it a try, simply select multiple vectors in your workspace and select the Combine icon (⚭) in the right menu bar to see subtract, divide, and intersect options.

We’re making some significant upgrades to our database systems so we can continue to improve our free and premium products! We wanted to give you a heads up so you can plan ahead.

As we welcome new owners starting up their Glowforge for the first time, we refreshed the tutorial, ”Let’s make your first Glowforge Print!”

These tutorial improvements include:

• User interaction improvements to make following along a breeze
• Updated instructions for new app UI

Today, we're making Magic Canvas even more magical with thoughtful improvements that help you create exactly what you imagine.

Starting 3/25, when you buy a new Glowforge (or up to 120 days after), you can get an extended warranty from Mulberry that will protect your Glowforge through 2029.

We’ve updated the Glowforge App with a new look and layout.
