Prepare a DXF for laser cutting.

A clean flat profile gives the quote the geometry you want made.

Before you upload

  1. One part per file

    Export one flat part per DXF. Each uploaded file becomes a separate part in the quote.

  2. Closed cut profiles

    Close outside profiles and holes. Remove open construction lines that do not belong in the cut geometry.

  3. No duplicate geometry

    Remove overlapping lines, duplicate entities, dimensions, and reference marks. Keep only the profiles you want cut.

  4. Final size and units

    Export at full size. Use inches where possible and confirm the displayed dimensions after upload.

After upload

Check the part preview and dimensions first. Then select the material, thickness, and quantity. Resolve any displayed geometry warnings before proceeding. A manufacturing review flag means the shop needs to check the affected feature.

Need to send a drawing too?

The CAD upload treats each file as a separate part. For a drawing, tolerances, or additional requirements, use the print or PDF quote request linked below.
