File Formats for CNC Routing:

Artwork:

We do advise sending us actual vector CAD files to speed up the process and to save you extra costs but if you have a basic sketch or drawing and you simply do not have access to CAD software, we can carry out all artwork in house.

We can usually convert PDF, .ai and .eps file formats into a siutable CAD format for us to use and this service will be charged per hour until finalised, (please see our terms and conditions for basic pricing)

Acceptable formats are: VECTOR FILES ONLY

Adobe Illustrator (.ai or .eps - must be CS4 or lower)
AutoCad or Licom Alphacam v8.5 (.dxf or .dwg are preferable for all vector cutting applications.)

All text must be converted to curves/paths.
All outlines must be converted to objects/paths
All objects/paths must be combined and not grouped.
All geometry must be of a professional quality with a reasonable amount of nodes (control points).
A vector format file containing embedded bitmaps is not a true vector artwork and therefore cannot be used.
White geometry cannot be used as a mask to hide any parts of the design.
Overlapping geometries must be welded or joined to form one path.

There will be no artwork charges for use of (.dxf or .dwg file formats and if the above guidelines are not met then art charges will be incurred, CNC-IT T & Cs will apply.
