Say it. Snap it. Sketch it.
ShapeShift it.
Voice or text-driven AI that generates clean, CNC-ready SVG artwork in seconds. Describe your design, refine it conversationally, edit nodes, and export cut-safe files — no design experience required.
From idea to toolpath in seconds.
No design software. No manual path cleanup. No CNC-unfriendly output. Just describe what you want and let ShapeShift handle the rest.
Describe your design
Talk or type your idea — or upload a photo, sketch, or logo. ShapeShift understands natural language and traces images into CNC-safe paths. Set your material, machine, and dimensions right from the prompt.
AI generates CNC-safe SVG
The AI builds fully closed-path vector artwork, enforces every CNC constraint automatically — no gradients, no open paths, no stray nodes — and validates against your machine and material profile.
Refine, nest, and export
Refine through conversation or the design studio. Add tabs, set cut layers, nest onto a sheet, and share a preview link for client approval. Export SVG, DXF, or G-code — ready for your machine.
Sell, share, or send to machine
List your finished design on the marketplace and earn 70% of every sale. Or connect directly to your CNC machine over WiFi and send the G-code file from the studio — no USB required.
See it in action.
From prompt to cut file in under a minute — here's how ShapeShift works.
Describe it. AI builds it.
Type or speak your design idea. ShapeShift generates CNC-ready SVG paths in seconds — no design experience required.
Built for the machine, not the screen.
Every feature — AI generation, image tracing, real-world dimensions, nesting, validation, export, and marketplace — is built from the ground up around CNC constraints. If it can't be cut, it won't ship.
Describe any 2D design in plain language and ShapeShift generates a fully closed-path, CNC-safe SVG instantly. Iteratively refine through natural conversation — the AI remembers context and applies CNC constraints automatically.
Upload any reference image and AI traces it into clean vector paths. Automatic cleanup closes open paths, removes fills, and outputs CNC-safe geometry.
Say "Hey Shift" to trigger voice control. Describe designs, request modifications, export files, or navigate the studio — all without touching your keyboard.
Hold a full conversation with the AI about your design. Each message updates the canvas with context from the entire session — not just the last prompt.
AI Critique scores your design 1–10 with specific improvement suggestions. AI Suggest analyzes your canvas and recommends the next logical design steps.
Full vector editor built for CNC. Edit nodes, adjust bezier handles, apply boolean operations (union, subtract, intersect), and control stroke weight with precision.
Set physical dimensions directly — "Make this 24 inches wide, 1/8 inch kerf." Every measurement maps to what the machine will actually cut.
Generate gears, spirals, stars, and polygons with interactive parameter sliders. Change tooth count, radius, or wave frequency and preview updates instantly.
Enter width, height, depth, material thickness, and kerf — outputs a flat-pack box with precision finger joints optimized for your machine.
Convert photos to engraving-ready halftone dots or stipple patterns. Output is pure vector — no raster paths sent to your machine.
12 ready-made shapes: mounting holes, T-slots, L-brackets, countersinks, arrows, and decorative elements. Drop into your design and size to fit.
Assign paths to dedicated cut layers. Multi-sheet designs let you organize complex projects across pages with distinct cut sequences.
Automatic validation of closed paths, self-intersections, stray points, minimum feature size, and stroke thickness. Real-time status with actionable issue flags.
Select your machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, LongMill, plasma, laser) and material. The validator and AI enforce the right kerf and minimum feature size automatically.
For through-cuts, automatically inserts holding tabs at optimal positions so parts don't fall through mid-cut. Tab size, count, and placement are configurable.
Simulate the actual cutting toolpath with animated preview — rapid moves, cut moves, and plunge depth visualized. Catch air cuts before wasting material.
Connect directly to Grbl-ESP32 / FluidNC machines over WiFi. Jog axes, zero WCS, send G-code files, and monitor machine status in real time.
Every export is CNC-validated before download. Includes G-code post-processors (GRBL, LinuxCNC, Mach3, Laser), kerf compensation, and multi-pass depth.
Place multiple designs onto a single material sheet with automatic nesting — maximizing yield and minimizing offcuts. Re-nest in one click when designs change.
Export multiple designs or serialize a design with incrementing numbers. Batch jobs download as a ZIP with individual SVG, DXF, or G-code per variant.
Designs bigger than your machine bed are automatically tiled across multiple sheets with registration marks. Pieces assemble perfectly after cutting.
