SSD Software

Simple Shapes Designer (SSD) is a program that allows you to create a unique artwork made up of various shapes. The user has full control on the placement, orientation, and size of these shapes, in a defined and repeatable area that is also set by the user.

This allows for a seamless artwork that can be engraved using your ALE laser engraving machine. With this new software we can engrave very coarse patterns down to as low as 6.5LPI/2.5LCM, please find some of these examples below.
