CNC to Art Video Series Video 7:
This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop.

We have converted our image and now it is time to clean it up and export it out. First we take a look at the image for defects. We find a few and use the Illustrator weld tool to get rid of them.
Next we export the image out as a dxf file. DXF Files are common currency between CAD Programs.

When we export, we go with the oldest type of DXF File available. I do it that way because I find it makes a simpler file that virtually any CAD Program can open and use.

Next we go into our CAD Program to resize our file to the proper dimensions.
