If you’ve got access to a laser cutter and want to work with wood, finding ready-to-use laser-cutting design files for dollhouses and mini furniture can save you hours of design time. I recently spent quite a bit of time researching this, and I thought I’d put everything I found together in one place.
This list includes both free and paid resources, with a special focus on files that work with common laser cutting machines and materials like 3mm or 4mm plywood or MDF.
Whether you’re looking for a full dollhouse (kit) design or just a few dollhouse furniture pieces, there’s something there to find, so let’s dive straight into things!

🛠️ Quick Note: What File Types Work for Laser Cutting?
Most laser-ready design files come in one of these formats:
- SVG – Great for beginners; works with machines like Glowforge, xTool, and LightBurn.
- DXF – Popular for more advanced or industrial lasers; often used with AutoCAD or Fusion 360.
- AI / CDR – Native formats from Illustrator and CorelDRAW, supported by many pro laser cutters.
- PDF – Only works if the file contains vector shapes, not just images.
All the resources listed in this article include at least one of these formats, so you can choose what fits your setup.
Did you know, by the way, that the chances are high that those DIY dollhouse kits you buy from Robotime, Cutebee, and others are produced with a laser cutter? That’s also why downloadable laser-cutting design files are such a great alternative: if you have access to a machine, you can replicate that same clean style at home!

A Few Quick Tips Before You Start
- Most files are optimized for 3mm or 4mm plywood or MDF. Be sure to match the slot and tab sizes to your material.
- SVG files work well with Glowforge. Other machines may prefer DXF or AI formats.
- Free files sometimes lack clear assembly instructions. If you’re just starting out, paid options often make things easier.

Hi everyone!
My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.
So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.
I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).
I love to write as well about all things happening in the miniature world, hence the reason why I created this blog!
I wish you happy reading and crafting!
Lizzy
