It’s now easier than ever to move artwork from one Glowforge design to another.
While you’ve always been able to copy and paste objects (including text, shapes, and vector and bitmap artwork) within a single design in the Glowforge app, you can now:
It’s now easier than ever to perfectly align and arrange your artwork in the app.
With the new alignment toolbar, you can now align multiple objects (like your text or artwork) to the tops, middles or bottoms of one another. You can also align objects to their lefts, centers, or rights. Use the Evenly space tools to help you make sure the spacing between objects are the exact same.
For Premium members, aligning is a snap! With smart snapping, teal guidelines help you position objects while you’re moving them. Simply move any object close to another to get teal alignment guides that help you keep everything neat & tidy.
We've made an improvement to the way your Glowforge measures the height of your material. This may improve the quality of your laser's focus. It can also make your print preview more accurate.
The next time you turn on your Glowforge, the firmware will update automatically. This update will help us prepare for future improvements.
We’re really excited about a new Premium feature - Patterned Lines! With this feature, you can add some really stunning details to your design with just a few clicks, as well as functional designs such as stitching holes or tabs that hold small parts into the sheet you’re cutting them from.
Many of you often ask us “What’s new?”
With the latest update to the Dashboard, you’ll see more new feature announcements, tutorials, tips and tricks, new designs, sales, and more in these content areas.
We launched the Edit in Group feature to Early Access for Premium users a little while ago and thanks to your feedback, it’s now ready for all users! This means that, when you are looking at a group of artwork, you can use Edit in Group to make detailed adjustments while still keeping the artwork in a group.
We recently introduced Light Plywood to the Proofgrade line. It’s lighter and thinner than Medium Plywood and cuts twice as fast, making it incredibly versatile.
But you wanted more - and today we have a lot more! Later today, we’re going to start offering oversized Light Plywood that measures 20” x 48”, making it ideal for use with the Pro Passthrough slot on Glowforge Pros.

Light Plywood is coming to the Glowforge Shop
Later this week, we’re going to start offering Light Plywood. It has the same outer hardwood layer and semi-gloss coating, the same price, and comes in the same species as Medium and Thick Plywood but there are a few things that make it stand apart.
Compared to Medium Plywood, Light Plywood:
