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.
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.
Process Walkthrough
A quick run-through of the ARTographer flow, from location search to export-ready output.
Benefits
- Streamlined workflow
- Faster training
- Consistent results
- Scalable growth
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.
Full feature list
- Place search or manual extent with padding control and DMS coordinates.
- QuickOSM layers with server rotation, retries, and empty-layer cleanup.
- Water + roads post-processing (dissolve, buffer, clipping, splits).
- One-click helpers: golf stack, tiny polys, custom pins, smooth lake/river, set frame.
- SVG export with optional gray roads and basemap removal.
- Config server for recipes, tooltips, and runtime helpers.

- Gray Roads toggle and abort current run.
Export and settings
- Export-only mode for the current view.
- Timestamped SVG output to a chosen folder.
- Optional basemap removal and gray-road styling.
- Adjustable river/stream polygon widths.
- Tooltips toggle, defaults reset, and log copy.
Server integration
- Token-protected config server endpoints.

Engagement Tiers
Three paths to align commitment level with today's presentation goals - no pricing, just structure.
Tier 2 - Managed Service
Same access plus I handle updates, support, and incremental refinements.
Predictable progress.
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:
- 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.
