  Laser cutters take vector data for the shapes they cut or engrave as input,
however, re-using a given design with different material or on a different
machine requires adaptation of the template. Unfortunately, vector drawings
lack the semantic information required for an automated adjustment to new
parameters, making the manual adjustment a tedious and error-prone process for
end-users. We present LaserSVG, a standard-compliant vector-based file format,
software library, and authoring tool to specify, generate, exchange and re-use
responsive laser-cutting templates. With LaserSVG, designers can easily turn
their vector-drawings into parametric templates that end-users can easily
adjust to new materials or production parameters. Our tools provide various
functions for parametric design that allows end-users and designers to adapt
objects while ensuring overall consistency of the results.
