Free Living Hinge Pattern Generator
Design flexible living hinge patterns for your CNC router or laser cutter. Choose a pattern, customize parameters, and export as SVG or DXF.
Straight Hinge
Create living hinge patterns with straight horizontal cuts in a brick-wall offset arrangement. The simplest and most commonly used pattern for bending rigid materials.
- Brick-wall offset pattern
- Simple & effective
- Adjustable cut length & spacing
- SVG & DXF export
Wave Hinge
Generate sinusoidal wave cut patterns for a smoother, more organic flex. Adjustable wave amplitude creates flowing curves that distribute stress evenly.
- Sinusoidal wave cuts
- Smooth flexibility
- Adjustable wave amplitude
- SVG & DXF export
Hex Hinge
Design elongated hexagonal cut patterns that create a decorative honeycomb-like appearance while maintaining excellent flexibility.
- Hexagonal pattern
- Decorative appearance
- Adjustable hex size
- SVG & DXF export
Cross Hinge
Create X-lattice living hinge patterns with interlocking diagonal arms. A complex pattern that provides strong, uniform flexibility.
- X-lattice pattern
- Strong interlocking
- Diagonal arm design
- SVG & DXF export
