Bridged Layers

The bridged layers are specially made so that they won't fall apart or lose 'islands' when you cut them.

Layer 1

white

Layer 2

red

Layer 3

black

Using the Stencils

Cut out and paint your three-layer stencil of Acme Corporation. Decide whether you will use the natural surface color as one of your layers. For example, if your surface color is close to the color white , then you may choose to omit the first layer since the surface has this color already. Download the free cut files to cut this stencil of Acme Corporation yourself. Or upload your own image to turn it into a stencil.

Stencils smaller than 5 inches on either side are not recommended.

Final image dimensions (side-to-side, top-to-bottom) of your painted stencil.
Cut media are (w) x (h) inches, with margin inches

Margin must be less than half the media height or width, whichever is smaller.

Media width (in)

Media height (in)

Media margin (in)

Media dimensions (what you cut your stencil panels from), including desired margin (the space along the edge that won't be cut).
Bridges smaller than 0.01 inches or larger than 1 inch will probably not result in a usable stencil.

Stable bridges

Fewer bridges, pretty stable

One bridge per island

No bridges

Bridge Width (in)

Bridge width is usually set from 0.03 (for laser cutter) to 0.05 or larger (for blade cutters).

3 layers x panel(s) per layer = panels total.

Tip #15:

Try a halftone CMYK stencil

Sometimes you just want to reproduce as many colors and details of an image as you can. But who wants to cut and paint 20 layers just to get 20 shades in the final image? With a CMYK color-separated stencil, you use just three colors: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow; plus black, to reproduce the full gamut of color.
