CAD + CNC + Laser + 3D Printing

Kerfio is designed for people who build, repair, test, prototype, engrave, cut, print, and manufacture.

A simple, machine-aware design workspace to create, import, measure, and prepare geometry — then send it straight to CNC, laser, or 3D printing.

Inside the workspace

Drawing toolsLine, polyline, rectangle, circle, arc, point & text on an infinite canvas.

Measure & layoutRulers, grid, snapping, distance and angle measurement.

Objects & layersObject list, visibility, lock, rename, duplicate and grouping.

SVG / DXF I/OImport and export vectors, plus PNG preview and native .kerfsketch.

Geometry validationCatch open paths, tiny segments, wrong scale and out-of-bounds shapes.

Send to machinePush clean, scaled geometry into the Kerf CNC and Laser workflows.

AI-Powered

AI Assistant for Real Machine Work

Kerfio's AI Assistant helps users understand machine setup, G-code, errors, materials, calibration, and workflow decisions.

Example prompts

Kerfio AI Assistant

Online

Explain why my laser frame test is larger than expected.

This usually means the machine steps/mm or work area scale is not calibrated correctly. First, measure a 100mm movement test, then update the axis calibration before running a real job.
