Fill patterns for every job

Controlled fill patterns for any closed shape, with optimized fill order built in.

Hatch & cross-hatch

Straight-line and crossed fills for even engraving and marking coverage.

Spiral & concentric

Continuous inward fills that reduce lifts and travel on round and organic shapes.

Serpentine, moiré & offset

Back-and-forth and offset patterns for fast, uniform fills and decorative effects.

More than a fill — a real toolpath

Compensated for your machine, optimized for motion.

Hatch fills are generated around your actual tool diameter or beam width, so finished dimensions stay true. Then the cut order is re-sequenced to minimise rapid travel — and the animated emulation shows it in motion before you spend anything.

Beam & tool compensationGeometry offset for kerf and tool radius, so dimensions stay true.
Optimized path orderReordered moves cut wasted travel — blue is cutting, amber is travel.
Clean LINE outputBroadly compatible with CNC, laser, plasma and waterjet controllers.

Frequently asked questions

What fill patterns can I generate?

Hatch, cross-hatch, spiral, moiré, concentric, offset, parallel, and serpentine fill patterns inside any closed shape — for laser marking, engraving, and CNC.

What is beam and tool compensation?

DXF Studio offsets hatch and cut geometry by your laser beam width or tool diameter, so finished parts match their drawn dimensions instead of coming out under- or over-sized.

How does toolpath optimization help?

The cutting order is re-sequenced to minimise rapid travel. The toolpath emulation shows cutting moves in blue and non-cutting travel in amber, so you can see the improvement before you cut.

Do I need an account to preview?

No. Generate the fill and inspect the full toolpath emulation without signing in. An account is only needed to buy tokens and download.

Does one token cover all three tools?

Yes. One token unlocks a loaded file across Bitmap to DXF, Cleanup & Repair, and Hatch & Optimize for that whole work session.
