Impact of the Automation System

Overview

This plugin automates and simplifies key design workflows, reducing repetitive effort and oversight.

It fetches/geocodes, cleans up layers, and exports palette-safe SVG stacks - cutting time both on data prep and on laser/print layout in apps like LightBurn.

Capabilities

Inputs: OSM extracts and GeoJSON.
Outputs: palette-safe SVGs ready for Illustrator/print (laser routing done manually).
Built-in guardrails: dissolved blocks, tiny-poly cleanup, palette enforcement.
Runs as the ARTographer plugin with a lightweight server for configs, recipes, and updates.
Access is invite-only with per-team/user tokens - keeping the tools and recipies internal.

Engagement Tiers

Three paths to align commitment level with today's presentation goals - no pricing, just structure.

Tier 1 - Pilot Access

Use the automation system "as-is" for one year with no ownership or sharing rights.

A quick win without long-term obligations.

Tier 2 - Managed Service

Same access plus I handle updates, support, and incremental refinements.

Predictable progress without additional headcount.

Tier 3 - Full Ownership

Transfer the platform, documentation, and IP for complete control going forward.

For those ready to embed automation as a core of their SOPs.

Everything's flexible - happy to tailor any tier.

Laser-ready artisan workflow

ARTographer converts raw OSM data into palette-safe SVGs almost ready for the laser. A few shots from the dock:

Budapest full city overview inside the ARTographer dock — Entire metros load with the curated layer stack - no manual hunting.

Road polygons showing varied thickness — Road-to-polygon gives each classification the right stroke so solid cities cut cleanly.

Tiny polygon cleanup view — Tiny-poly sweeps strip the specks that wreck laser paths.

City blocks merged + dissolved automatically for spill-free fills.
Palette + stroke weights tuned to laser/print workflows.
Helpers (golf, custom pins, tiny polys) remove tons of cleanup time per map.

MapFramer: frame-perfect maps

Check this mapping helper out! MapFramer is a separate web app to dial in proportions, orientation, frame size, and map extent in a few clicks - ship the print with confidence.
