Vector Workspace

Your Artwork. Every Curve.

Give your AI a logo brief, an existing vector file or a raster image. It creates the artwork, refines paths and type, or converts pixels into editable curves. A full vector editor is at your fingertips: draw it yourself, pass the reins to AI or move between both. Export the result or take it straight into your physical design.

Digital to Physical. AI Does the Work.

Vector is part of one AI-driven design workflow: a reference image becomes artwork, physical parts, manufacturing jobs, electronics, assembly instructions and a product video. Your AI works across all eight workspaces in one project; you steer and review.

Bring an idea or the design you already started. Through native MCP, your AI sees the project geometry and makes real changes. Fireball Wrangler brings your provider accounts and supported local models together, with discovery and connection to Fireball apps when their MCP access is enabled. Built-in Sidecar handles focused tasks.

Full editing goes with you: native apps across macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, iOS, iPadOS and Android. Use touch, Apple Pencil on supported iPads, or mouse and keyboard. Windows to Mac to Ubuntu, the same .fireballdesign file keeps every workspace together. Choose cloud sync to continue on your phone, tablet or computer.

Before and after

From Logo Brief to Editable Artwork.

Today

A logo idea to draw, a vector file that needs changes or a raster image you need as clean curves. You want AI to make the edits inside the document.

With Fireball Designer

An editable vector design with deliberate shapes, refined nodes, typography and colors. Ready for a sign, a label, print or the next step in 3D and CAM.

The bridge: a full vector editor with AI controlling the drawing tools, raster-to-vector conversion, precise path editing and connected design workspaces.

What it’s for

The Full Vector Studio.

Create a logo from scratch, draw an illustration, lay out lettering or refine artwork someone sends you. Work with layers, artboards, editable Bézier paths, node tools, shapes, booleans, gradients, swatches and typography. Your AI can operate the tools, and you can take over at any point.

Open an existing vector file and change its curves, spacing, colors or wording. Convert a raster logo, scan or reference into editable paths and refine the result. Export vector artwork for print and web, or carry it into 3D as geometry and CAM as a cutting design within the same project.

Made for

  • Original logos, illustrations and lettering
  • Editing existing vector files and brand artwork
  • Logos and signs for plasma, laser and vinyl
  • Turning a raster logo into clean paths
  • Fixing an SVG from the internet before it cuts
  • Embossed and inlaid artwork in 3D parts

Headline features

Full Illustration. AI Control.

Create Logos and Artwork

Start from a brief or a blank artboard. Build original logos and illustrations with shapes, editable curves, typography, gradients and swatches. Direct your AI to create a first draft and refine it together.

For you: the artwork is yours to edit, at every node.

Edit Existing Vector Files

Open supported vector artwork and change paths, spacing, colors and text. Simplify curves, combine shapes and prepare variants, by hand or through your connected AI.

For you: improve the design you already have without starting over.

Convert raster to vector

Flat, Detailed, Line art and Sketch modes pick the color count for you, drop the background and give one compound path per color with its holes. A 1200 px logo converts in about a quarter of a second.

For you: a logo picture becomes a few clean shapes, not hundreds of slivers.

One-click Repair

Removes page rectangles, invisible objects, specks and duplicates, joins near-miss ends within 0.1 mm, closes paths, splits self-crossings and nests holes, then outlines anything still open in red.

For you: duplicate paths cut twice. Repair makes sure they don't.

21 tools on familiar keys

Select, Node, Pen, Pencil, Vector Brush, Gradient, Transparency, the shape tools, Corner, Knife, Shape Builder, Line and Text, with a context bar for each.

For you: your muscle memory already works here.

Booleans and 15 parametric shapes

Add, Subtract, Intersect, Divide and Combine; Contour and Expand Stroke; and cogs, hearts, callouts, stars and more whose fields stay editable.

For you: a plate minus a circle is one part with a real hole that 3D and CAM read correctly.

Pencil and brush with pressure

Strokes fit to clean Bézier curves, with pen pressure driving the width and rope or window stabilizers.

For you: hand-drawn marks stay clean, editable curves.

Type that stays type

Artistic text, frame text with columns, text on a path, kerning and ligatures, and Convert to Curves for the hand-off.

For you: change the wording without redrawing the sign.

Swatches, gradients and precision

Global swatches that recolor every use, .ase import and export, four gradient types, rulers in mm, guides, snapping and an outline view.

For you: brand colors and sizes stay exact across the project.

Straight to 3D and CAM

Place on a plane, a construction plane or a face; Send to CAM; paste; or drag a layer onto the 3D or CAM tab. Update from Vector refreshes the part when the artwork changes.

For you: a logo becomes a part or a cut file in one step.

More artboards and generate from a prompt

Several artboards per document, and vector artwork from a text prompt.

For you: every size on one page, and a first draft of the artwork.

Built-in Sidecar

“Make this cut-ready and send it to CAM.”

Use Sidecar to understand a path problem or help run the built-in Repair command. Inspect the fixes in your artwork before moving on to 3D or CAM.

You

This logo came from a web converter. Make it cut-ready and send it to CAM for the plasma table.

Sidecar

→ removed the page rectangle · deleted a duplicate path (it would have cut twice) · joined an open end within 0.1 mm · holes nested · placed on XY and sent to CAM as cut parts. Undo available.

Small tasks are Sidecar’s sweet spot. Quick explanations, a focused edit or help running a built-in tool. Longer projects and repeated tool calls can use Credits quickly.

Sidecar Bronze is included with Designer Pro and Commercial at no extra charge; other plans can use its free tier. Designer works completely with the panel closed.

MCP · bring your own assistant

Your AI Draws and Edits.

Connect your preferred compatible AI to Designer through native MCP. Let it inspect the actual project, create the first draft and refine the design through editable, undoable tool calls.

Native MCP gives your connected AI control of Vector’s tools. Ask it to create a logo, refine an existing design, adjust nodes and typography, convert a raster reference or prepare export files. AI makes the changes in your editable document; you direct, review and refine.

# Claude Code, connected to Fireball Designer over MCP

> Vectorize fireball-logo.png as a 2-color logo 120 mm wide, fix anything that won't cut, and write an SVG for my laser.

  • → convert_image mode: flat, preview first
  • → convert_image colors: 2, widthMm: 120
  • → repair_vector defaults
  • → export_canvas svg, preset: cad
  • → quick_view

An SVG in real millimeters, outlines only, no bitmap, and nothing left that would cut twice.

Example prompt and the tool calls it takes. Designer’s MCP server is built into the app, off until you switch it on, and scoped to what you share. No Sidecar subscription is needed. Your assistant uses its own provider account, billing and usage limits; review its work before using the result.

One project, every workspace

How Vector connects to the rest.

Every workspace keeps its work in the same .fireballdesign file, so a hand-off is a button (or one tool call), not an export and a re-import.

Fireball Designer Warehouse connects the maker community to your studio. Discover shared projects, like the ideas you love, save them to collections and follow the makers, then open a design and make it yours within its sharing terms. Ask your AI for changes, prepare your build and share what you learn with the next maker. Find It. Make It Yours.

Preliminary pricing

FAQ

Vector questions

Can I create logos and edit existing artwork?

Yes. Vector is a full drawing and illustration editor, with curves, nodes, shapes, layers, artboards, gradients and typography. Create original logos, refine supported vector files or convert raster artwork into editable paths. Work directly or let a connected AI operate the tools through native MCP.

Which files does it open and write?

SVG (pasted from any app too), PDF pages, PDF-compatible .ai files, and PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, GIF and WebP to place or Convert. Out: SVG (standard, for CAD, for web), vector PDF, PNG and JPEG up to 2,400 dpi, DXF and .ase swatches.

How good is Convert?

It's built for logos and flat artwork: colors share one boundary, so there are no halo slivers, and the result is a few clean shapes with no bitmap embedded unless you ask to keep one.

What does Repair actually change?

Only what would break a cut or an extrusion: page rectangles, invisible objects, specks, duplicates, near-miss gaps (0.1 mm by default), self-crossings and hole nesting. It reports every change, and can repair a copy instead.

Do curves stay curves in 3D and CAM?

They're flattened to lines and arcs within a tolerance you set (0.1 mm by default), finer than a plasma kerf.

Which devices can I use it on?

Native apps across macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, iOS, iPadOS and Android, with full design editing on mobile. Use touch, Apple Pencil on supported iPads, or mouse and keyboard. The same .fireballdesign file carries your project across platforms; choose cloud sync to continue on another device. Download availability follows the published pre-release builds.

How much is it?

Designer is free to start. The Vector Workspace is one of the $5-a-month add-ons, or part of Designer Pro. Pricing is a draft until launch.
