Description

Make a layered nativity scene for the mantel or the wall: 3 or 4 layers of 3 mm plywood or MDF stacked into a shadow-box scene, with your family name engraved on the band at the bottom. Pick a scene and a frame, type the name, and the live wood preview updates as you go. Before you export, the generator checks every layer and the stand, and export only unlocks when all the checks pass.

It makes a personal Christmas gift for a family, a couple or the grandparents, and every piece you make can carry a different name. All the figures are original artwork drawn for this generator.

Make it yours

The 5 nativity scenes: Holy Family, Stable, Shepherds, Three Kings and Bethlehem, each with a family name
  • 5 scenes:Holy Family, Stable (with the ox and the donkey), Shepherds, Three Kings and Bethlehem, each with a variation number (1–9999) and a Shuffle button for the starfield, the star's rays and small placement details.
  • 4 frame shapes: Arch, Gothic arch, Stable roof and Circle on base.
  • Size and layers: 150 to 350 mm wide (the height follows the frame and always stays under 300 mm), 3 or 4 layers and a line width from 1.5 to 3 mm, in mm or inches. The fourth layer adds a middle ground: the hills, the stable or the town of Bethlehem.
  • Name band: a family name of up to 24 characters (accents and ñ welcome, like "Familia Muñoz"), an optional second line of up to 20 characters ("Christmas 2026", "Feliz Navidad"), 6 fonts (Handwritten, Script, Modern, Rounded, Block, Festive), engraved or cut out.
  • Display: a stand that the glued stack slides into, a hidden keyhole or a hanging hole for the wall, or nothing.
  • Details:an optional halo on the Baby and small engraved layer numbers that end up hidden under the next layer.
  • Two views: a live wood preview with Natural wood, Two-tone or Painted night surfaces (preview only, the files don't change) and a Cut layout view of every part.

Checked before you export

A finished nativity scene for The Smith Family next to its checks panel: every check passed, plus the project summary
  • Each layer and base part is one piece
  • No weak bridges
  • Nothing thinner than the line width
  • Each layer sits fully on the one below, with at least 2 mm of glue overlap
  • Solid wood under the name text
  • The stack fits the base slot, with 0.4 mm of clearance
  • At least 2 mm of wood around the keyhole or the hanging hole
  • The layer numbers are hidden under the next layer
  • Every part fits the xTool S1 bed (498 × 319 mm)

If a check fails, export stays blocked until it passes. If cut-out letters would be too fine for your settings, the app engraves them instead and tells you.

How to use

The layered nativity scene generator with the name band options and the settings panel
  1. Pick a scene, then shuffle or set a variation number until you like the stars.
  2. Choose the frame, the width and 3 or 4 layers.
  3. Type the family name and the second line, pick a font, and choose engraved or cut out.
  4. Choose how it will be displayed: on its stand, on the wall or neither.
  5. When every check shows a green tick, export your files.
  6. Cut every layer and base plate, glue the layers in order and slide the stack into the stand. Open Tips in the app for the full fabrication walkthrough.

What you get

What you get: one SVG per layer and per base plate plus an overview SVG, red lines cut and blue areas engrave
  • One overview SVG with every part, plus one SVG per layer and per base plate
  • Real size, 1:1 in millimeters; every single part fits the xTool S1 bed
  • Red lines cut through, blue areas engrave (the name and the layer numbers)

Material

Made for 3 mm plywood or MDF on a diode or CO2 laser. Run a small test cut first to dial in your settings. For contrast, stain or paint the sky layer dark and keep the front layer light, as in the preview.
