Real millimetre widths, shown live
Set your board size and the map redraws at true scale, so a 30×40 cm map is measured in millimetres — never guesswork.
A laser map creator

A map generator built for the laser, not the printer
Most map tools export a flat picture or a single tangled outline. Maperivo builds a production file: every road, coastline and park sits on the right layer, at the real width your laser will cut.
Type a place, choose a size and style, and the generator renders the map at true scale. What you see on screen is the exact millimetre width the laser cuts — not on-screen pixels. Streets that are too thin to cut safely become a single-line score instead of a fragile double outline, and green areas become filled shapes that engrave cleanly. When you export, you get named CUT / ENGRAVE / WATER layers that open in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge with zero cleanup.
Why Maperivo
Built around the product, the customer and the laser.
One consistent workflow from the first map search to the final production file.
Named CUT / ENGRAVE / WATER layers
Export a layered SVG (DXF on request) with production layers already separated and labelled for your laser software.
3D exploded preview before you cut
Rotate the map and separate the layers to catch a problem before it costs a sheet of material.
Dense cities stay cuttable
Busy centres that collapse into slivers in other tools stay coherent, with adjustable thresholds for fine roads.
Complete products, not just a map
3D layered, cut-out, lake depth, love-story, key holder, multi-panel splits, marathon routes and more — from one designer.
Yours to sell
Commercial use is included on every plan, so every map you make is a product you can sell.
From location to production file in about five minutes
- Search a place. Any city, neighbourhood or street address, powered by OpenStreetMap.
- Pick size, frame and style. The map redraws at real scale; add a title, pins and engraved labels.
- Inspect in 3D. Explode the layers to confirm the stack before cutting.
- Export the layered SVG. Named CUT/ENGRAVE/WATER layers, ready for LightBurn, xTool or Glowforge.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything makers and stores ask before their first laser-ready map.
What file do I get from the map generator?
A layered SVG with named CUT, ENGRAVE and WATER layers (DXF on request). It opens in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge with no cleanup.
Can I make a map of any city?
Yes. Any city, town, neighbourhood or street address on Earth, using OpenStreetMap data rendered with Mapbox.
Are the street widths accurate?
Yes. The generator works at real millimetre scale for your chosen board size, so what you see is what the laser cuts. Roads too thin to cut become single-line scores you can adjust.
How much does it cost?
The free trial is 14 days and 50 maps, with no card. After that Starter is $10/month with unlimited maps. Commercial use is included on every plan.
Is it really laser-ready?
Yes — that is the whole point. Green areas are filled shapes, thin roads are scores, and layers are named for your machine, so there is no manual tracing or cleanup.
