UV Jig Generator · Beginner’s Guide
In one sentence: Upload your material outline, automatically arrange multiple jig slots on the UV printer baseplate, and export cutting files with one click.
What It Can Do
Recognize outlines: Upload SVG graphics / STL 3D models, or choose preset shapes directly (rectangle / circle / rounded rectangle).
Batch layout: Automatically arrange as many pieces as possible on 330×122 mm or 330×420 mm baseplates, or manually specify rows and columns.
Three preview modes: 2D layout preview, 3D jig preview, and export preview.
Export: Generate SVG / DXF cutting files and UV printing positioning templates.
Get Started in 3 Minutes
Choose a source: Drag in an .svg / .stl file, or select a preset shape (rectangle / circle / rounded rectangle).
Select a baseplate: Choose 330×122 mm or 330×420 mm.
Set material size: Enter width/height, or adjust using scale % and rotation angle. Enable Lock Ratio to scale proportionally.
Arrange layout: By default, Auto Fill automatically generates the maximum number of pieces. Disable it to manually set rows and columns.
Fine-tune settings: Adjust spacing, margins, alignment, and slot offset (see parameter table below).
Preview: Switch to 3D Preview to check jig thickness and whether the cutout structure is suitable.
Export: Select SVG / DXF / STL at the bottom and click Export to download.
Parameter Quick Reference
| Section | Control | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Baseplate | Baseplate | Select the UV printer baseplate size. |
| Material Size | Width / Height / Scale / Rotation | Set the size and orientation of each material piece. Lock Ratio enables proportional scaling. |
| Layout | Auto Fill / Rows / Columns / Orientation | Automatically fill the baseplate or manually define rows, columns, and horizontal/vertical arrangement. |
| Spacing & Margin | Spacing / Margin | Controls slot spacing and the outer margins around the baseplate (can be adjusted independently or linked). |
| Alignment | Horizontal / Vertical | Controls the overall array alignment position on the baseplate. |
| Slot Style | Cutout / Outline / Engrave | Cut-through slots / outline only / engraving. Optional numbered labels can be added. |
| Jig Settings | Slot Offset / Jig Thickness | Controls slot tolerance relative to the material outline / jig plate thickness (affects 3D preview). |
Key Tips
Slot Offset: Positive values make slots larger and looser; negative values make them smaller and tighter. A value of 0.1–0.3 mm usually provides a good fit for easy placement and removal.
Out of range: When the status shows Out of range and slots are highlighted in red, export is disabled. Reduce the quantity, size, or spacing to fix it.
Replace files without losing settings: Replace File keeps the baseplate, spacing, and layout settings while recalculating the arrangement. Delete clears everything and returns to the upload screen.
True-to-scale output: All dimensions use mm and 1:1 scale. Exported files exactly match the canvas preview and can be imported directly into cutting software.
