A few simple rules for reliable instant submissions and smooth manufacturing transition.
Send DXF, DWG or SVG files for direct and fast import.
Single layer, 1:1 scale, lines and closed contours only; no text or dimensions.
Respect minimum sizes and distances specific to chosen material.
In case of problem, application explains what to correct before submission.
Remove duplicates: avoid double cutting, overheating and costs.
Use Overkill/Remove Duplicates to delete double lines.
Avoid common borders unless shared cut is intended.
Check that no geometry is duplicated on hidden layer.
Leave kerf between nested parts, unless shared cut agreement.
Work 1:1, in mm or inches, and watch out for SVG.
Always full size for import without surprises.
mm or inches: auto detection, adjustable if sizes allowed.
Watch for pixel units; convert to real scale.
Respect our limits for part to be manufacturable.
Respect minimum diameters, bridges and distances for clean machining.
Laser: ≥ 50% of thickness. Router: ≥ 0.125".
Respect bridge width per material and gauge.
Hole-to-edge and hole-to-hole: follow specs per material.
Check material pages for limits specific to each.
Don't add bend lines to cut contours; follow material specs.
Refer to material pages for minimum radii and die width.
Indicate direction, flanges and desired relief zones.
Respect clearances between holes/hardware/dimples and bend lines.
Provide bend plan if needed; app doesn't require these lines.
Arrange multiple distinct parts in a single file while respecting separation rules.
Verify nested file respects maximum dimensions for chosen material.
Never share a cut path between two parts. Maintain minimum kerf spacing between each contour. 1/8'' for laser cut parts and 1/4'' for CNC cut parts
To order multiple identical copies, upload one part only and adjust quantity in cart.
Don't nest parts requiring bending, tapping, dimpling or hardware. Submit them separately.
Convert fonts to paths, add bridges, and avoid lines too thin.
Explode/Outline: each letter becomes closed geometry.
Keep islands (A,O,R) with bridges respecting minimum thickness.
Avoid hairlines; maintain width compatible with material.
Avoid overly decorative fonts prone to breaking during cutting.
Close all shapes and eliminate intersections to succeed import.
Join ends to get closed contours.
Remove crossings and overlapping entities.
Add small radius to soften internal corners if required.
Switch to wireframe and validate no segment is missing.
We don't filter by layer: remove everything that's not cutting.
Place only cut lines. Rest complicates import.
Delete dimensions, hatches and blocks. Keep only geometry.
Even hidden, we read them: delete if not required.
No locked or invisible elements; flatten if necessary.
Clean vectorization: convert your images to cut SVG, without texts or effects.
Continuous contour, no lost islands, no pixelation.
Drag-drop SVG: analysis detects common problems.
Remove unnecessary objects, keep only cut paths.
Zoom, wireframe, and merge nodes to close small gaps.
DXF, DWG and SVG are supported. For other formats, use our 2D parametric models.
DXF, DWG, SVG: direct and precise import in app.
Save at 1:1, mm or inches, to avoid surprises.
Clean geometry: no dimensions, no text, no hidden layers.
Prefer lines/arcs, avoid complex splines for clean cutting.
