Living Hinge Generator

Make rigid sheet bend. Tune the staggered slit pattern, preview it live, and download a laser-ready SVG for plywood or acrylic.

Pattern

Hinge width (mm)

Hinge height (mm)

Line spacing (mm)

Slit length (mm)

Bridge gap (mm)

Edge margin (mm)

More flexible = tighter line spacing and smaller bridge gaps. Stronger = larger bridges. Smaller bridges flex easily but fatigue faster. Always cut a test strip first.
