We Design CAD Files For You
- Scale drawings on paper
-
An idea of what materials you want to use
-
An indication of whether or not what you need is a scratch product or something that has been made by other means before.
For making CNC compatible CAD files we use a selection of Corel software products.
The PC industry standard graphic design package Draw is utilized as well as the more precise Designer package.
Making CNC compatible CAD files for you varies in complexity and cost. If you have an idea of what you want then we need to see some kind of drawing from which we can make a CNC compatible CAD file.
We make and machine many different types of CNC CAD file on a daily basis so creating an accurate, workable CAD file for you is not a problem.
Help Us Save Time Making Your CAD Files
By saving us time you can save yourself expense. When generating your CNC compatible CAD file we can save time by starting with accurate information.
If you can supply us with;
This information will help us to make a CNC compatible CAD file in a timely manner.
Questions We Get Asked About Compatibility
From time to time we get enquires for CNC production based on files downloaded from the internet.
Most of the files we have seen to date are in either Microsoft Word or rastered graphics in PDF format. Although these are computer files they are not CAD files and still need to be re-drawn.
Testing Files Prior To Production
For some projects it is a good idea for us to test run CNC compatible CAD files prior to production.
This may be to check for part fitment or ensure that the machining will be accurate.
When testing CNC compatible CAD files we use a cheap, disposable sheet material such as hardboard or thin MDF.
This allows us to check everything before we commit to more expensive materials.
If you would like us to run a check on your own CNC CAD file please let us know
