CNC Cutting File (DXF / NC)

We prepare your design so it cuts correctly the first time on a CNC router, laser or plasma machine. We clean up the geometry, set the toolpath, apply cutter diameter compensation and calculate corner allowances for your material. You receive a DXF and an NC file with a parameters report. Two revision rounds are included.

Who it is for: Workshops and makers who have a design but need a clean, machine-ready cutting file.
