Common questions
Answers before production starts.
What file types can I upload?
DXF and DWG files are preferred. Vector PDF files can also work when they contain real vector cut lines at 1:1 scale. A photo or JPEG saved as a PDF is still an image.
Can you quote if I do not have CAD drawings?
Yes. Send a sketch, measurements, reference images or an existing part and the team can advise what is needed to create a cut-ready file.
What should I include with my quote request?
Include material, thickness, quantity, deadline, pickup or delivery postcode and any finish requirements. If the job has several parts, label each part clearly.
Can I order one-off parts?
Yes. One-off parts, prototypes and repeat production runs can all be quoted, although setup time affects very small jobs.
