VisualizationGeometric Snowflake DXF, Spoked Hexagon Snowflake Laser Cut Template, Minimalist Scandi Christmas Ornament SVG
A minimal, icon-style snowflake: six straight arms with V-shaped forks, each drawn as one bold engraved stroke, meeting a hexagon centre with six spokes like a wheel hub. The outline follows the strokes, so the piece itself is a slim star of wood. Width is 90 mm and height 97.5 mm (3.54 × 3.84 in), and a 4 mm hole goes through the upper arm.

How to make it
- 01Lay masking tape over the sheet if you plan to paint the strokes later, then import the file and confirm a 90 mm width.
- 02Focus carefully: the narrow wooden strips and the tight corners between the forks show any loss of cutting power first.
- 03Engrave the strokes and the spoked hexagon, then run the outer cut and the inner gaps between the arms.
- 04Paint into the engraved strokes while the tape is still on, let it dry, peel, and hang the snowflake by its top arm.
Clean lines for a Nordic tree
If your customers decorate with white walls, pale wood and not much clutter, this is the snowflake for them. Each arm is one dark line down the middle of a slim wooden strip, with a single fork near the tip. In the centre, a hexagon outline holds six thin spokes and a small dot, which gives the flake a wheel or compass feel. The open gaps between arms are cut away, so light passes through the piece on the tree.
Where to take care when cutting
The wooden strips around each stroke are only a few millimetres wide, and the inside corners between the forks are tight. Those corners are where a weak cut or a dirty lens shows first, so focus carefully and do a test on scrap. For 3 mm plywood the estimates are: 10 W diode, 4 min 20 s; 40 W CO2, 1 min 39 s; 100 W CO2, 58 s. The engraving is narrow strokes, so the laser spends most of its time on the cut.
Two-tone finishes
The strokes are wide enough to paint. Leave masking tape on, engrave, brush a coat of navy, red or white into the strokes, then peel. You get sharp painted lines without touching the wood. Unfinished birch with black-painted strokes looks very Scandinavian.
Selling angles
- Ski chalet and cabin rentals that want matching decor for every room.
- Modern minimal gift sets: three hexagon snowflakes in a flat kraft sleeve.
- A paint-it-yourself kit for teens, since the strokes are easy to follow with a brush.
- Garlands for shop windows; drill or add a second hole at the bottom arm to chain them.
Questions about this file
Can I paint just the engraved strokes?
Yes, that is what this design is good at. Engrave through masking tape, paint over the tape, and peel it once the paint is dry for crisp coloured lines.
Are the slim arms strong enough to post or ship?
In 3 mm birch plywood they hold up well in a padded envelope. The only weak spot is the inner corners at the forks if the cut was slightly overburnt.
Can I link several into a garland?
Add a second 4 mm hole at the tip of the bottom arm in your software and join the flakes with jump rings or twine.
How small can I scale this snowflake?
Around 70 mm wide is a sensible minimum. Smaller than that, the gaps between the forks become too narrow for a clean cut in 3 mm material.
Which takes longer here, the cut or the engraving?
The cut. The outline is about 737 mm long because it wraps every arm and fork, while the engraving is only narrow strokes.
