Free Laser Test Files
Free Laser Test Files
A growing collection of free SVG laser test files for laser cutters,
laser engravers, diode lasers, CO2 lasers, and LightBurn users.
Test your own machine, material, focus, cutting quality, engraving detail,
and working settings before starting your final project.
Important:
These files are test patterns, not universal machine settings.
Laser results depend on the machine, laser power, lens, focus, material,
thickness, air assist, and other conditions. Always test on suitable scrap
material and follow your machine manufacturer's safety instructions.

Download the SVG test file you need. Each test has a different purpose,
so choose the one that matches the problem or setting you want to evaluate.
01
Free Laser Kerf Test
Measure the practical kerf produced by your laser and material.
This test helps you understand how much material is removed by the cut
so you can make more accurate slots, tabs, holes, and press-fit designs.
- Measure laser kerf
- Test slots and tabs
- Check hole and fit behavior
- Useful for CNC and laser cutting projects
Best for users who need more accurate dimensions and better-fitting
laser-cut parts.

02
Free Laser Power & Speed Test
Compare different Power and Speed combinations on your own laser
and material. The matrix helps you see how changing the two variables
affects cutting or engraving results.
- Power test matrix
- Speed test matrix
- Compare circles, rectangles and detail
- Useful for finding a practical working range
Use your own machine and material settings. The values in the file are
test points, not universal recommendations.

A practical cutting-quality test for checking small holes, slots,
thin walls, circles, corners, and other geometric features.
- 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 mm squares
- Small circles and holes
- 1–4 mm slot tests
- Thin-wall and corner tests
- Small grid and breakaway test
Useful for discovering the practical feature limits of your laser,

Free LightBurn Power & Speed Test
A larger Power and Speed matrix designed to make testing easy to
organize inside LightBurn. Each cell contains multiple simple features
for comparison.
- 8 Power columns
- 5 Speed rows
- Rectangle, circle and X
- Fine-detail feature in every cell
- Clear Power / Speed labels
Configure the actual laser operation in LightBurn using settings
appropriate for your own machine and material.

Free Diode Laser Test File
A general-purpose test pattern for diode laser users who want to
evaluate engraving detail, small geometry, line spacing, cutting,
focus, and practical feature limits.
- Fine engraving detail
- Small circles and squares
- Thin-line and spacing tests
- Narrow slots and holes
- Cutting and engraving sections
Designed for testing your own diode laser rather than providing
universal wattage or speed recommendations.

Free CO2 Laser Test File
A general-purpose CO2 laser test pattern covering cutting,
engraving detail, thin lines, holes, slots, small geometry,
and alignment references.
- Cutting test section
- Engraving and detail section
- Thin-line tests
- Hole and slot tests
- Small geometry tests
- Alignment/reference section
Use your own CO2 laser settings based on your machine, lens,
material, thickness, and setup.

Free Laser Engraving Test File
Test engraving detail, line consistency, spacing, hatch patterns,
small geometry, circles, spokes, and progressively smaller features.
- Fine horizontal and vertical lines
- Line-density tests
- Horizontal, vertical and diagonal hatching
- Fine-detail geometry
- Circles and spokes
- Vector DESIGN / DETAIL / TEST samples
Useful for comparing engraving quality and finding where small details
begin to disappear on your own machine and material.

How to Use These Free Tests
These files are designed to help you test your own laser system.
The best results come from keeping the machine, material, and test
conditions consistent while comparing the results.
1. Choose a Test
Pick the test that matches what you want to evaluate:
kerf, cutting, engraving, Power & Speed, diode, CO2, or LightBurn.
2. Use Scrap Material
Test on a suitable piece of the same material and thickness you
plan to use for your project.
3. Record Your Settings
Record your machine, material, thickness, focus, air assist,
Power, Speed, and other relevant conditions.
4. Compare the Results
Look for clean cuts, consistent engraving, useful detail,
suitable holes and slots, and repeatable results.
5. Keep Your Results
Save the settings that worked for your particular machine and
material so you can use them as a reference later.
6. Test Before Production
Even after finding useful settings, perform a small test before
starting an important or expensive final project.
Important Safety Note
Laser cutting and engraving can create fire, fumes, toxic gases,
smoke, and other hazards depending on the machine and material.
Never leave a laser operating unattended. Use appropriate ventilation,
follow your laser manufacturer's safety instructions, and never test
unknown materials without confirming that they are suitable for laser
processing.
Free Laser Tests FAQ
Are these laser settings universal?
No. Laser results vary between machines, laser power, optics, focus,
material, thickness, air assist, speed, and other conditions.
These files are testing tools, not universal setting charts.
Can I use these SVG files with LightBurn?
The files are designed as clean SVG test patterns and can be imported
into compatible laser software such as LightBurn. Always check the
imported geometry and assign the correct output/non-output layers
before running a laser job.
Which test should I use first?
It depends on your goal. Use the Kerf Test for dimensional accuracy,
Power & Speed for comparing settings, Cutting Test for cutting
quality, and Engraving Test for engraving detail.
Can I use the diode and CO2 tests on any material?
Only test materials that are confirmed suitable for your laser.
Diode and CO2 lasers behave differently, and material composition,
coatings, thickness, and ventilation can significantly affect results.
Why should I record my machine and material?
Recording your conditions makes your test results much more useful.
A setting that works on one machine or material may not produce the
same result on another.
Are these files really free?
Yes. These Designerooh laser test SVG files are provided as free
resources for makers, laser users, and creators.
Test Better. Cut Better.
Save this page and come back whenever you need to test a new material,
machine setting, cutting problem, or engraving setup.
