Shaper Tools

A quick and simple SVG vector exporter for Shaper Origin and other digital fabrication tools.

Free

Shaper Utilities will provide a range of workflow improvements enhancing Shaper products.

Initially, Shaper Origin (our handheld CNC) receives a two-click export feature. Eliminating the time lost to complicated and cumbersome export procedures.

Origin users will appreciate spending their time fabricating iterating and experimenting.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Improvements in 1.9.0

  • Support for the January 2025 version of Fusion.
  • Support for the new Assembly design type.
  • Support to handle the Fusion light and dark UI preference correctly.
  • Modified the algorithm for extracting the model shape, which is significantly faster and more robust than the previous method.
  • Exporting bodies from an external reference is now supported.
  • Fixed a problem where old files with sketch text would fail.
  • Fixed a problem where an internal shape that is a combination of a pocket and an island was not being exported.

Improvements in 1.8.0

  • Fixed: component grounded to parent handled correctly
  • Python updated for compatibility with the current python shipped with Fusion

Improvements in 1.7.0 

  • Python updated for compatibility with the current python shipped with Fusion
  • Fixed: Solid body layout selection filtering was ignoring bodies that were narrower than they were tall
  • Fixed: In sketch mode, non exploded text now exports correctly
  • Fixed: Solid body layout now exports depths more predictably
  • Fixed: Attempting to export linked components now displays a warning rather than failing
  • Fixed: Exporting no longer triggers the file modified asterix in the top bar

Improvements in 1.6.9

  • construction geometry can now be exported as guides
  • solved issue with exporting control point splines

Improvements in 1.6.8

  • resolves an issue reported with the save dialog disappearing
  • resolves an issue with some details failing to export
  • resolves and issue with the order of solid body layout exports
  • sketch exports now export construction lines as guides
  • sketch exports now support test as a guide

Improvements in 1.6.3

  • resolved error with German / French exports failing

Improvements in 1.6.2

  • localization. ( French / German / English will display depending on your language preference. )
  • Optionally export sketched text as “guides” ( for when you want to leave uncuttable notes )
  • Accessible from Manufacturing mode. ( take advantage of fusions simplify > defeature and nesting abilities )
  • Stroke thickness now renders appropriately in all 2d vector editing apps
  • Open stroke legibility improved with rounded corners. ( note that this does not impact the cut outcome, merely how it looks more closely matches how it cuts. )
  • The help icon works correctly on Mac.
  • Forms that are not designed with 2.5d fabrication in mind may fail to export or have unexpected outcomes. (consider using manufacturing > simplify > defeature to prepare a design for export)
  • Solid body/layout advanced export mode requires that geometry is wider in X/Y than it is in Z for it to be selectable for export.
  • linked components will need their link broken temporarily to export.
  • exporting construction lines as guides are not able to support partial curves encoded as guides as svg files encode the whole curve as one color
