Sending Files

File Formats for CNC Routing: Please go to 'Contact Us' page to upload your files.

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 suitable 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 (.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 joined to form one path/box (i.e. a rebate in a panel to overlap the edge to clear tool radius's)

There will be no artwork charges for use of (.dxf or .dwg ) file formats and if the above guidelines can't be met then art charges will be incurred, CNC-IT T&C's will apply.

If all else fails and the job is fairly simple, do us a sketch and we'll draw it up for you.
