Quick tip guide for designers

  • You can machine virtually any 2D shape.
  • For cheaper (faster) parts avoid sharp corners, or tight radii.
  • Avoid tiny holes in thick materials.
  • Use AutoCad Release 12 ASCII DXF files for best results in transferring files.
  • Your final part will be no more accurate than the CAD drawing you start with.
  • Brittle materials and laminates require special attention.
