When making a file ready for cutting, consider our knowledge of path creation.

Expert cutting requires special attributes that include path control, node and editing nodes, being able to smooth curves and creating direct lines.

If you wish to supply your own file, please ensure the file is:

1. Suitable for PC formats

2. No fonts are required. All text must be a quality font that has been broken down to form 'an object', not a font. To do this, In Illustrator, Create Outlines, In CorelDraw, Break apart the font.

3. Combine all elements into one nested form. You must also allow a minimum of 8mm between letters for reduction of heat stress apparent in some thinner materials.

4. Do not add any 'hidden' or 'background' file info. Remove the copyright and author etc from your output or final file. This is unnecessary for machinery cutting.

This image shows how - Before the final step of using the high powered laser, we pre-issue the paths, lifts and drops, check kerf values and more. When working with you, the information you can give us the better, With over 200 different works shown, you now have lots of choices. Paths are very critical to success.

The lines here show the path that the cutting head will follow from start to completion. The internal blast points are set, the external lead cuts are positioned to allow no damage to the final letter.

This sign was made for a Display Village in Mildura Victoria. More details and pictures can be found at the gallery. You can also see this sign cutting video here.
