If unusually high temperatures are detected, an new alert will sound in addition to the existing modal alert on the app, ensuring you are called to investigate and intervene promptly.

Add, Connect, and Erase Artwork from Magic Canvas, Navigation fix, Aura bed display fix

Easily Edit your Magic Canvas Design

We’ve added the ‘Connect’ tool to the Magic Canvas ‘Adjust Artwork’ tools.

To use it:

  • Click “Adjust Artwork” on any Magic Canvas Art Style
  • Use the “Connect” & “Eraser” tools in the “Modify” section to draw or remove parts of the design
  • When you’re done, the design and all your edits will appear in the workspace, ready to be printed!

Navigation Update

We're replacing the Glowforge app navigation from being expand-on-hover to click-to-expand, improving usability and addressing feedback on app interference. With this change, navigation menus will no longer appear unintentionally.

Default Aura bed display

We’ve updated the Aura bed image to display at 100% zoom on smaller screens. Now, when you open a design in the app, the Aura bed will appear at the optimal zoom level.
