Question 1

What is StencilVector?

Accepted Answer

StencilVector is an AI-powered platform that converts any image into a professional laser-cut ready stencil. Our technology ensures structural integrity with automatic bridge placement, so every piece stays connected and your stencil is ready for production.

Question 2

How does the AI stencil maker work?

Accepted Answer

Upload any image (photo, logo, illustration) and our AI analyzes it, converts it to a clean vector stencil, adds structural bridges where needed, and outputs production-ready SVG and DXF files. The entire process takes about 15-30 seconds.

Question 3

What file formats do you support?

Accepted Answer

We export stencils in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and DXF (Drawing Exchange Format). Both formats are compatible with all major laser cutting software including LightBurn, LaserGRBL, RDWorks, and CorelDRAW.

Question 4

What is a structural bridge in a stencil?

Accepted Answer

A structural bridge is a small connector that holds isolated parts (islands) of a stencil in place. Without bridges, floating pieces would fall out when the stencil is cut. Our AI automatically detects and adds bridges where needed.

Question 5

How many credits do I get for free?

Accepted Answer

New users receive 3 free credits upon registration, plus 1 free stencil generation per day. This lets you try the platform before purchasing additional credits.

Question 6

What are credits and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Credits are our simple pay-as-you-go system. 1 credit = 1 AI stencil generation. Credits never expire and can be purchased in packages: Starter (5 credits), Creator (20 credits), or Studio (100 credits).
