Laser cutting files - DWG / DXF Pricelist

If you have your own laser cutter these files may be used directly - if you don't have access to a laser cutter, there are many commercial laser cutting companies, all over the world, that you can send the files to, I don't like making recommendations after the Shapeways debacle, please e-mail me, if you find good ones..

These files are optimised to be cut from a sheet larger than 300mm x 400mm. (PT-Boat uses 12" (304.8mm) x 16" (406.4mm) sheets) of Birch marine grade ply of 0.6mm / 0.8mm / 1mm / 1.5mm and 2mm and 3mm pine marine ply.

FOR LASER CUTTING

The drawings consist of two flat 2 dimensional layers - layer 0 is the vector cutting layer that needs to be cut through and layer 0-text is the raster detail and lettering layer which needs to be etched only.


PT-Boat uses a USA made Epilog laser cutting machine.

These files have cutting outlines that have a number of "tags" or non cutting spots that prevent the cut parts (ribs etc.) from falling out of the sheet.

The laser cutting drawing sheets are optimised for a 12" x 18" laser cutter (We use an Epilog brand machine) they consist of two layers, a cutting layer for vector cutting and a separate raster layer for text and other markings.
