Say it. Snap it. Sketch it.
ShapeShift it.

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.

Ask anything — feeds and speeds, why a path failed validation, which cut type to use, how to hold a part down. Shift answers with your current shapes, layers, and machine profile in context. To change the artwork, use Say It or Modify.

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.

Type the numbers that matter — tooth count and module, cell radius and gap, slot count, width, and depth — and insert the result in millimetres. What lands on the canvas is ordinary editable geometry, so set the numbers before you insert.

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 across four categories — mounting holes, rounded slots, T-slots and countersinks; arrows; L-brackets, U-channels and crosses; hearts, stars and hex cells. Drop one in and size it 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 over USB (Web Serial — Chrome/Edge) to GRBL machines. Home, unlock, set the work origin, start and stop the spindle, then stream the job with live progress, feed-hold, and a hard abort. Jogging is not available yet — position the bit at the machine.

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.

Browse CNC designs from the community. One click loads any design into your studio. Sell your own designs and keep 70% of every sale — ShapeShift handles payments.

Publish designs to the public gallery. Browse the community catalog, preview any design, and fork it into your studio as a starting point.

Share a session link and co-edit in real time. Live cursors, instant shape sync, and presence indicators — design together from anywhere.

Community design challenges with weekly themes and prizes. Submit your best work, vote on others, and win ShapeShift Pro subscriptions.

Every cloud save snapshots your design automatically. Browse 50 versions per project, compare timestamps and shape counts, and restore any previous state.

Invite team members by email with editor or viewer roles. Shared cloud designs, comment threads, and workspace management — all on Studio plan.

REST API endpoint for generating CNC-safe SVGs from natural language. Add ShapeShift generation to your own tools, pipelines, or CNC software. Studio plan.

The ShapeShift mobile app will bring job queues, design monitoring, machine connect, and shop-floor generation to your phone. In development — not yet available.
