Resources for getting started
"DXF" files are the preferred format for laser cutting jobs. Hundreds of software tools and packages can work with them.
If you are new to CAD or laser fabrication, the following free programs can get your started on Windows, Mac, or Linux:
- LibreCAD - Fantastic full-featured 2D cad/drafting program. It works directly with DXF files. It is what we used an Anibit to prepare laser jobs!
- Inkscape - A very polished artistic vector graphics edit. There are a lot of plugins and special effects, and you can export to DXF.
