We’ve made it easier for new Glowforge owners to set up their new printer at setup.glowforge.com. The setup experience is now organized by chapters and is accompanied by updated photography and video clips.

Find Designs and Proofgrade Materials Faster

We’ve made improvements to the shop to help you better find what you’re looking for, whether it’s the perfect Catalog design for any occasion or the exact material to print on.

A few weeks ago, we shared some improvements to the way you can copy and paste artwork to and move artwork from one Glowforge design to another. This is now released and available for all Glowforge owners.

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:

• Copy objects from one Glowforge design into another.
• Copy objects from other design software and paste them directly into the app.
• Copy objects from the Glowforge app into other design software.

Alignment toolbar

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.

Smart snapping for Glowforge Premium

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.

Even more accurate measurements

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.

New firmware

The next time you turn on your Glowforge, the firmware will update automatically. This update will help us prepare for future improvements.
