I submitted some DXF laser cutting files to a well known company ,The files where taken directly from the cad drawn plan with no kerf correction applied.
And the returned cuts do not match the plan.
Hi John. When you say "cuts do not match the plan", can you be more specific? i.e. are the parts uniformly smaller?
I do a lot of CAD/Laser cutting and contrary to many others, I never adjust for kerf. And, I never have any issues. If you want, you can PM me and we can exchange emails. If you send me the original drawing and the .dxf files I can take a look to see if there are any problems.
