Barbagiazz
Handmade skis from Switzerland“Open source is one of the pillars our company is built on, and Rayforge is part of that in practice: it's the tool we use to design, cut and engrave logos and custom graphics on wood veneer topsheets for our ski production. Features like material recipes and path optimization keep every job fast, precise and repeatable — and since Rayforge is free and community-driven, it fits perfectly with our belief that innovation grows through sharing and collaboration.”

Barebaric
CNC-made wooden enclosures from Germany“Barebaric is a small workshop in Münster, Germany, where we design and machine wooden and aluminium electronics enclosures — and we also develop Rayforge. We use it in our own production every day: engraving logos and custom graphics onto wooden panels, and cutting precise inlays, openings and ventilation grilles for our cases. Building the software and running it on real jobs go hand in hand, so everything we learn in the workshop flows straight back into Rayforge.”
