Latest Improvements

Each time you turn on your Glowforge, we use the camera to identify the important parts of your Glowforge and where they’re located. This is a multiple step process that may take a few moments. Before, you’d see “Calibrating” while this is happening. We’ve updated the machine status messaging so that it’s clearer how the process is progressing.

We’ve made some performance improvements to app.glowforge.com.

We’re introducing one of the most-requested features to help you use your own materials: the ability to save your settings. We’re also making it easier for your fingers to navigate the iOS app with a brand new workspace editing experience optimized especially for touch screens.

Files containing an even-odd fill rule will now engrave as they display in the workspace.

We've sped up autofocus and fixed an issue that was causing some Proofgrade materials to be incorrectly recognized.

We've made some improvements to the Glowforge iOS app, fixed a few workspace bugs, and added a new design to the catalog.

You asked for it, and it’s here! The Glowforge UI is starting to go global. You now have the option to choose either inches or centimeters in the settings menu in your workspace. Depending on what you choose, the ruler and height measurements will automatically use the correct unit.

We're rolling out a slew of updates this week including a faster workspace, faster camera, upgraded rulers, a mobile app update, and a new catalog design (some of you might recognize this one!).

We’re teaching your Glowforge how to speak your language with improved notifications. Plus, a thumbnail fix to better reflect your artwork.

We’re getting ready for summer temperatures with some improvements to the Glowforge Pro cooling system. Pan and zoom just got easier with our latest changes, and we’ve updated our Proofgrade™ Basswood cut settings to make sure they cut reliably for you.
