How to prepare your drawing
Most delays start in the file, not at the machine. These six points usually save a day of messages back and forth.
- 01
Contours must be closed
A line left open is not a cuttable contour. Join the ends at the same point — the machine cannot guess which side the material stays on.
- 02
1:1 scale, in millimetres
Draw at actual size. A scaled drawing is the most common reason a finished part comes out the wrong size.
- 03
One part, one file
Do not nest the parts on a sheet yourself. We do the nesting so that material waste stays as low as possible — that works in your favour on the price.
- 04
Delete what is not cut
Dimension lines, text, borders and hidden layers easily end up as cutting paths. Leave only the contours to be cut in the file.
- 05
Hole diameter at least the material thickness
Anything smaller rarely comes out clean. If you need smaller, say so — sometimes it is better drilled.
- 06
Remove duplicate lines
Overlapping lines are cut twice. That costs time and leaves a mark on the edge.
If any of this is unclear, send the file anyway. We will look it over and tell you what is worth changing.
Send a drawing and get a price
We answer by the end of the next working day. A drawing is enough — if anything is unclear, we will ask.
