Design. Export. Cut. It’s that simple.

We’ve integrated this powerful, cloud-based CAD/CAM tool directly into our site to help you get from an idea to a finished project in record time. Whether you are using the Rhino Craft or one of our RHINOCUT Pro machines, this tool handles the hard work of generating your G-Code.

How to create your first project in 4 easy steps:

1. Set Your Workspace

  • Click on the "Settings" tab (the gear icon) or look for "Machine Size" in the top menu.

  • Set your workspace to match your machine (e.g., 500mm x 500mm for the Small Rhino Craft).

2. Import or Draw

  • Import: Click the "Open" button to upload a DXF, SVG, or even a simple image (like a logo).

  • Draw: Use the text and shape tools on the left toolbar to design directly in the window.

  • Use a Wizard: Click the "Wizards" button at the top! Use the Hello World wizard for text or the Surfacing wizard to level your wasteboard.

3. Define Your Toolpath

  • Select your drawing and click "Create Toolpath."

  • Choose your bit (e.g., Double Flute End Mill) and set your depth.

  • Tip: If you aren't sure which bit to use, check out our [Bit Guide Blog Post]!

4. Export Your G-Code

  • Click "Generate G-Code" and then "Save G-Code to File."

  • Open this file in your machine controller (like CNCjs or gSender), and you are ready to cut!

💡 Pro Tips for Rhino Users:

  • Safety First: Always double-check your "Safety Height" in the toolpath settings to ensure your bit clears your clamps when moving.

  • Makita Settings: For the Makita M3700B, we recommend starting with a conservative feed rate while you get used to the material.

  • No Install Needed: This designer runs entirely in your browser. No heavy software to install—just bookmark this page!
