What is a DXF file?
DXF is a common format for 2D CAD drawings and sheet metal flat patterns.
For cutting, use full-scale closed outlines. Choose the material and thickness when requesting a quote.

FAQ
Is my file uploaded to FabDigit?
Yes. We upload it over an encrypted connection to open and price it. Only FabDigit and people with your share link can access it.
Can I get a price?
Yes. Eligible flat patterns receive an instant estimate. Other parts go to an engineer for review.
Can I open a DWG?
No. Export the drawing as DXF first.
Which DXF versions open?
ASCII DXF exports from major CAD systems are supported.
Can I share the drawing?
Yes. Copy a private link that works for 30 days.
Is it free?
Yes. No account or installation is required.
