The process and material are checked together, both in Check & output and under Fabrication compatibility.
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| Plywood, MDF or acrylic cannot be processed with Cricut / Silhouette or a vinyl cutter | Switch the process to laser cutting, or choose cardstock, paper or vinyl |
| Vinyl cannot be processed with a laser | Choose a vinyl cutter. Lasering PVC releases harmful gases |
| Thicker than the process can cut | Use a thinner sheet (about 2.5 mm for craft cutters, about 1 mm for vinyl cutters) or switch to laser |
| Material not listed for this process | The combination may work but is not in our profiles; test carefully |
| The coaster holder needs a laser and a rigid sheet | Turn off the holder, or switch to laser and wood or acrylic |
Change the process or material
With nothing selected, use Fabrication → Process and Material in the right panel. The compatibility report updates immediately and lists the files you will receive.
