DRAWING REQUIREMENTS
MANUFACTURING DRAWINGS
For manufacturing drawings, we prefer them to be in .pdf format and contain a drawing number, revision level, and information concerning the location and sizing of the features to be marked, cut, machined, or welded. If you have any questions about the requirements, do not hesitate to contact us.
ARTWORK FILE TYPES
LASER MARKING ONLY:
For artwork, logos, etc. to be laser marked, we prefer that all drawings are submitted in AutoCAD compatible *.dxf or *.dwg format. These files should contain only the outlines of the artwork to be laser marked, considering that the laser software has its own fill properties and functions.
SOLIDWORKS CAD FILES
LASER MARKING ONLY:
We have SolidWorks, but considering that laser marking is done with 2D shapes, any SolidWorks file submitted will have to be converted into 2D AutoCAD files to be used by the laser software.
