3D Producer
Turns everything on the canvas into a 3D model by extruding it straight up along the Z axis. Drag the preview to turn the model and see it from every side.
Give each object its own height, raise it off the floor, change its 3D color, or leave it out. A blank height follows the main height above.
Laser Simulator
What material will you be cutting and engraving? The simulator runs your current drawing through a virtual laser: hairline outlines are cut, and everything thicker or filled is engraved.

Vinyl Cutter Simulator
Choose the color of vinyl you'll be cutting. Your drawing runs through a virtual plotter, then the unwanted vinyl is weeded (removed) so only your design is left on the backing sheet.
Before you start: a vinyl cutter only cuts — it cannot engrave or rasterize. Only objects with a Hairline outline are cut. Fills, thicker outlines, images and any other objects are ignored.
