Table Lamp Generator
Choose one of six lamp forms — a simple panel, an arch, a pinecone, a lighthouse, a slotted globe, a long-legged spider — and every interlocking piece is worked out for you. Set the surface colour, dial in your laser's kerf so the joints press-fit, and match the bulb and socket finish to the hardware you are actually buying. Watch it light up in 3D, then export the nested cut file.
How to Make a Laser-Cut Table Lamp
Pick a form, match it to your machine and your parts, then cut and slot it together.
Six Forms, Every Joint Already Solved
Turning a flat sheet into a lamp is a joinery problem, and this is where most DIY lamp files fall down. Each form here is a genuinely different construction with its own answer: the Simple panel resolves into five stacked panels and three feet, while the Globe becomes more than a dozen interlocking ribs held by two notched rings. Switch form and the whole nesting is re-derived — you are not adapting somebody else's template, you are getting a parts set that fits itself together.
It Knows Which Bulb and Socket You're Buying
A hole that nearly fits an E26 socket is a lamp you cannot finish. Where the form mounts the socket in the open, you pick the finish — black walnut twist, brushed silver or antique brass — and the bulb shape, tubular or pear, and the openings are cut for that exact part. Those are not decorative labels: they are the sockets and Edison bulbs listed on this page, so the lamp on your screen and the parts in the box are the same lamp.
Kerf Is a Setting, Not a Surprise
A laser burns away a little material as it travels, so every slot comes out slightly wider than it was drawn and a press-fit lamp ends up wobbling. Kerf Offset takes that width in millimetres and compensates for it across the whole parts set before you cut. Don't know your machine and material's figure? There is a link straight to the Kerf Test Generator next to the field. Set it once and the joints hold on their own — no glue, no shimming, no second sheet.
See the Glow Before You Buy the Sheet
A lamp is not judged by its outline, it is judged by what the light does — and that changes completely with the material. The 3D preview shows the finished lamp switched on, on a desk, with light spilling across the surface and escaping through every slot and rib gap. Recolour it and watch that change: pale basswood glows warm and open, dark green MDF holds the light in and throws sharp edges. It is the difference between choosing a colour and choosing a lamp.
Where a Made Lamp Earns Its Place
A lamp is one of the few things you can cut from a single sheet and still call furniture.
