Shaper Tools Trace Frame for Origin Handheld CNC Router

Draw. Capture. Make. From Sketch to Vector in Seconds.

Turn your drawings into vector graphics in seconds. Simply place the Trace Frame over your drawing and capture it with the Trace app, making it ready for use with your favourite vinyl cutter, laser cutter, CNC machine, and more.

Centreline or Outline

Trace finds the centreline of your sketch, providing a clean line that’s optimized for working with laser cutters, vinyl cutters, CNC machines and more.

SVG Selection & Edge Smoothing

Choose just the parts of the capture that you want by using the Selection Tool. Modify your drawings with the smoothing tool to adjust rough edges.

Universal Adaptability

The universal adaptability of the Trace allows it to be used with non-Shaper CNCs and a myriad of software. Once your hand drawing has been converted to an SVG file through the Studio program, it is able to be imported into a multitude of programs for universal CNC machines or similar applications.

Trace Application

Along with the Trace Frame, you’ll have access to the Trace web application — no subscription required. Unlike a traditional scanning process, Trace allows you to capture your drawing at any angle without needing to be directly over the image. Trace removes distortion and preserves scale, regardless of how you hold your phone. Access the app from any browser on your phone or tablet with a front-facing camera.

Who are Shaper Tools?

Based in San Francisco with offices in Stuttgart, Germany, Shaper was founded in 2012 with a mission of making precision cutting easy and accessible to craftspeople everywhere, beginning first with a handheld CNC router called Origin. Today, Shaper supports thousands of woodworkers and craftspeople around the globe with the simple approach of developing tools to meet users' needs, rather than expecting users to conform to the tools.
